Our home was in only my husband’s name and as we are getting older, it was time to add my name to the Deed to avoid potential issues in the future. Our experience with Deeds.com was wonderful. The website is user friendly, instructions written in layman’s terms, straightforward and easy to follow. Very reasonably priced. I highly recommend using Deeds.com.

I appreciate being able to find the forms needed for my Gift Deed. It was simple to understand and complete. Now, if Utah will accept this form, I will be thrilled. Mailing today. It remains to be seen if it will be accepted.

I needed a copy of a deed for a client and wanted to be sure I had the most recent one. I used Deeds.com and had it along with detailed property information within minutes at a very reasonable price. I am very pleased.

Not good. The blanks on the form, supposedly especially tailored for the specific county, didn't have enough space for a document name or the doc #. I had to retype the whole doc myself.

Reply from Staff

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry the form did not provide enough room for the prior document information you needed to enter. We have canceled the order and reversed the payment. We are also reviewing the field spacing for the prior document title and recording number so we can improve the form. No further action is needed from you.
