The deed forms seem to be what I need but I am unable to save anything that I do with them. I ask for some assistance in this matter but did not get any.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

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.
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.

I bought a Quitclaim Deed package for Fayette County, Kentucky, to transfer my house into a Living Trust that I had set up previously. Creating my Quitclaim Deed was pretty straightforward, using the form, the instructions, and the sample Quitclaim Deed. I signed my Quitclaim Deed at a nearby Notary Public, then took it to the Fayette County Clerk's office to be recorded. The clerk there asked me to make two small changes to the Quitclaim Deed, which she let me do in pen on the spot: * In the signature block for the receiver of the property, filled in "Capacity" as "Grantee as Trustee ______________________________ Living Trust". * In the notary's section, changed "were acknowledged before me" to "were acknowledged and sworn to before me".
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I thought the process was fairly easy. The price was reasonable. I had a slight problem, some of the words were missing from one page of the documents when I printed it. However, after I saved it to my computer, I was able to print the page in full.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I would have liked more room in the text fields for describing the potential claim. had to use Exhibit A. Could not delete Exhibit B. Alo would like to have a custom footer - not deeds.com. Unprofessional.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I would not have ordered this form had I realised how limited the fields are for details. There is no room for elaboration of terms. The language only allows one grantor and one grantee, and the gender and quantity default construction is a poor choice. Be basic, but leave room for more.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Creating my enhanced lifde estate deed was rather easy but I am not happy. After buying the 3 form package for about $29 and crating my legal form... was not happy with your disclaimer than you cannot guarantee the form will meet required legal standards. I was convinced you all knew what you're doing since the forms are supposedly specific to Polk county, Florida.
Herbert, thank you for your feedback.
Our deed forms are prepared to meet the statutory and recording requirements for the state listed, including common formatting and content requirements used by county recorders.
The disclaimer exists because we are not acting as your attorney and cannot evaluate each customer’s specific facts, property history, or intended use of the document. For that reason, we cannot guarantee that a document will meet every possible legal need or circumstance.
Many customers successfully prepare and record their deeds using these materials, but anyone needing legal advice about their particular situation should consult a licensed attorney.
