Fairly easy to use process and somewhat reasonably priced. Printed guide and sample filled in can be very helpful, too.

I liked having the forms. Some may need to know they can look at the legal Description from online county records, then type up in Word document line by line, the degree sign in Word program is achieved by using alt and 248 on number pad. Then on the form page one write SEE Exibit A and title your Word program description as Exibit A. Goes without saying the legal description should be looked over many times and it is easier to do so if you format your Word the same lineage as the legal description online which is usually not text which is why you have to retype it.

Form is easy to complete but has a crowded look upon printing. I would put more returns between paragraphs to make it easier to read.
