Important: Click Download to save each PDF to your device. Open and complete the PDFs using Adobe Acrobat Reader (free). Get Adobe Acrobat Reader Browser PDF viewers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Mac Preview) may display fillable fields incorrectly. This information should be shared with the potential buyer BEFORE purchase. Messy formatting and a deeds.com advertisement on each page. I will not purchase from deeds.com again.
Paula, thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. As the product wasn’t a good fit for you, we’ve canceled your order and provided a full refund so there’s no need for you to use the documents.

I used deeds.com to complete a gift deed for transferring a house to our son. Finding the correct form and completing it correctly was extremely easy due to wonderful explanations and examples provided with the purchase of the form. The registrar filing the deed told me she was impressed with the work we did. An attorney would have charged $150 so the $28.00 was well worth the money.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

A suggestion: Include instructions on how to add your spouse to the deed, rather than transferring completely to a third party
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. Adding a spouse to a deed is a common need, and suggestions like yours help us identify where additional guidance would be useful. We’ll take this into consideration as we continue improving our resources.

I filled out the Kansas form and presented it to the Clerk of Deeds in Rawlins Co and there were no problems and no expensive attorney involved for a simple transaction.
Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience!

I thought it was easy, but I wish it were faster. I uploaded my document Monday night (after 5pm) and got my invoice the next morning Tuesday paid it right away. and my document was not sent to me as recorded until Wednesday morning even though it was recorded the day earlier at 8:30am. So there was a delay of almost 24 hours letting me know that my document was recorded. So if they could speed that up so that we knew exactly when it got recorded immediately I would give it a million stars
Thank you!

Sign up was rocky. Tried to access documents and msg. said did not recognize my email (even though it had sent me an email). Contacted support and it was resolved. House transfer affidavit straight forward and easy to fill out.

The service was fast and professional. So much easier than going to the courthouse. I recommend this to anyone who has to record documents at the Clerk's office.

This was so easy to download, open the files and then complete the document on the computer then printing out. I waited to review this until we took it to Courthouse for the Recorder of Deeds and the legal task is now done. An attorney would probably have charge $300. This is a real deal packet!
Thanks for sharing your experience, Linda. It’s great to hear the documents were easy to complete and accepted by the recorder with no issues.

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!
