Very satisfied. Download was easy, completing the form was easy, got our signatures notarized and submitted it to the register of deeds.
The only item was that the register of deeds did not immediately recognize the TOD deed form as the usual form they receive. After carefully reviewing all the information and wording on the deed she accepted it.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

The process was not difficult but I don't think that it suited my needs.
There were several fields that were not applicable to me but I had to enter something to proceed.
I also filled out the other form and mailed it in with some documentation that the electronic service did not ask for.
Questions of my attempt are still unanswered. I hope I didn't waste time with this process. We shall see.
Thank you.
Thank you!
