Although I am sure that the Quit Claim form was acceptable for my county, I felt that it was not formatted in the manor that I have seen while viewing the other deeds recorded. So that forms that I received were not useful to me.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

You think you're purchasing 1 form for $25 but you are getting several which explains the $25. My printer ran out of black ink and I couldn't change the color of the text so that it would print. I couldn't copy and paste it to Word and work on it there. I'm going to purchase ink today so that it will at least print right. I will have to retype the text in Word; not good.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Your Transfer on Death Deed is fine and you have plenty of information about that part. But where is the Confirmatory Deed that is required in many jurisdictions in order to actually pass ownership of a property when the Transfer on Death Deed becomes effective? IT IS MISSING!!
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Sign up process was fine. The search could be refined a bit to make it easier. Rather than being presented with a large number of fields and trying to figure out, it say street suffice (Drive, Street, Lane) are needed and with what spelled out, what abbreviated it would be nice to have them presented as questions with examples. The $30 price point of r a deed is way too high for me as an appraiser. This is why I didn't complete the transaction.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I did not use your service. $19 to upload a document to our local tax accessor office is a bit high. I drove the document to the office myself.
Thank you for your feedback Robert. Glad to hear that you got your document recorded. Sorry to hear that your time, fuel, and wear on your vehicle are valued at less than $19. Have a wonderful day.
