Very Poor and useles, a scam, don't waste your money, those templates are useless and do Not give you Any valid,proper, meeningful wording to use, did Not Help me, nothing more than what a 5th grader can come up with as far as wording or example..I feel I was riped off and this is a total scam... nothing useful
We appreciate all feedback, even when it’s critical. Thousands of customers have successfully used our documents, but they are not for everyone. These are reviewed, fill-in-the-blank templates that provide the wording and structure required by law. Some situations call for more personalized guidance or hand-holding than templates alone can provide, and in those cases an attorney may be the better option.

PDF fields change font sizes leading to an unprofessional-appearing printed page. The examples for "Convey to" section don't include how to specify just one person instead of a married couple. Maybe that is simple but it would help to spell it out in an example. Haven't submitted to County Recorder yet, so will find out if it is acceptable.
Thank you for the feedback Brian.
The font issue is caused by using a PDF viewer other than Adobe Acrobat Reader. Our form fields are set to a uniform 12-point font, but non-Adobe viewers often render form fields inconsistently. Opening and printing the form with the free Adobe Acrobat Reader will resolve that.
Regarding the examples, that's a fair point, we'll look at expanding them.

So far so good. Looks nice but a more condensed version, when the recorder charges by the page, should be offered.
