*The Following Illinois and Knox County supplemental forms are included as a courtesy with your order.
Illinois Real Estate Transfer Declaration
This is a required form, unless an exemption is claimed. It includes a list of exemptions and line by line instructions. For non-recorded transfers use the PTAX 203-NR form. Add supplemental form A if the sale price is over 1 Million, and supplemental form B only for transfer of a beneficial interest.
Real Estate Transfer Tax Payment Form for Non Recorded Documents
If transfer tax is owed and the deed will not be recorded, use this form.
Notarial Record Form
This form is generally required, but certain transactions are exempt. A list of exempt conveyances can be found on page 1 of this document.
Plat Act Affidavit
Fill in the blank affidavit form to comply with the Illinois Plat Act (765 ILCS 205).
Illinois Homestead Exemption
Homestead exemptions are given to owner-occupied residential property. If you qualify, it could have substantial savings on your property taxes.
Notary Certificates
The supplemental forms in this section can be used as loose certificates by Illinois notaries.
Including:
Governed by 760 ILCS 5/8.5, the certificate of trust is the document a trustee provides to a lending institution or other third party that certifies the existence of a trust and his/her authority to act on behalf of the trust.
The document presents only essential information about the trust in lieu of the actual trust document. It names the settlor of the trust and all acting trustees, as well as any successor trustees who may be named under the terms of the trust document. If there are co-trustees, it states the number of trustees required to authorize actions. In addition, the certificate identifies whether or not a trust is revocable and amendable, and who holds authority to revoke and/or make amendments. Certain information, such as the parties having a beneficial interest in the trust, remains confidential.
The recipient of a certificate of trust is not liable for any actions they may take based on false representations within the certificate (760(ILCS 5/8.5(f)). While notarization is not obligatory, a third party may require that the certification of trust be acknowledged.

Review: Deeds.com made the recording of our Deed in a county where we do not reside, VERY easy! Customer service was great with all my questions answered immediately via my account portal. Very user friendly service! I wish the available documents were a little less pricey, but all in all, to get the job done right, I'll probably utilize the document downloads in the future.
