Your service is refreshingly clear, simple, and free of superfluous claims or unnecessary marketing. And, more affordable than other online legal document providers I've looked at. So nice! I forgot I had used it some years ago for another deed so glad you are still around for this time.
Thank you for the kind words John. Have a fantastic day!

I filed a Mechanic's Lien in PA. I appreciate that Deeds.com charges only a one time fee. When I took the completed paperwork to the Prothonotary Office, I paid a $70 Fee, but the staff looked over the documents and though it looked good. I recommend this service.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Thanks for making the Quitclaim Mineral Deed easy to understand, and the process so affordable.
Thank you, Elizabeth. We're glad the Quitclaim Mineral Deed package made the process clear and accessible. Mineral rights conveyances can feel intimidating without the right tools, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

Amazing service. Immediate responses at all hours of the day and prevent late in the evening! Patient and friendly. I will say that Adobe scan did not work well for me. Notes app for IOS has a scan feature and that seemed to work best.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
