I used the "personal representative's deed." There were a few errors, after I went to record it at the county recorder's office. For #7, it should've stated "The estate of Joe Schmoe, hereby grants Mr. Personal Representative....." instead of, "I Mr. Personal Representative, as personal representative, hereby grant to personal representative...." The person at the recorder's office said you cannot state "you are granting property to yourself." Just fix that, and everything else is fine.

3 stars for ease of use on the website. Subracted 2 stars for the forms being PDFs that you are unable to complete online, they have to be printed. Very inefficient.

I purchased the DIY quitclaim deed forms for Florida and couldn’t be happier. The forms were clear, professional, and easy to follow. I had everything filled out and recorded without a single issue. Worth every penny — the site is great, and the forms are exactly what I needed. Highly recommend!
