We used this document in 2018 and it was acceptable to Jackson County Missouri. It worked and is valid. Very happy with the product.

Amazing fast service. From the U.K. I was unable to get a check in U.S. dollars. This solved my problem as I was able to make payment with a card. So much faster than sending the documents from the U.K. via the postal service. Easy to use site, very quickly processed. Highly recommend

Seems easy enough, may have downloaded forms I don't need, however I'm hoping that these are the only I'll need. Did a lot of research and Deeds.com looks to be the best for anything you need. I am very happy at finally being able to find the forms I was looking for so easily. Thank you

The document had all the information needed but could have been presented with a more professional look for the price.
