I was skeptical when I first came upon this website. Not sure why I had such a negative feeling, but after I received the printed deed I felt relieved and completely satisfied. This is a great website for everyone who wouldn't want to retrieve their deed in person and worth the reasonable fee.

Thought from the reviews and claims, it would be able to do our quit claim deed. Maybe for simple situations it works but ours required more room for the description and parcel numbers. Ended up being a total waste of $40.00. Wouldn't buy again. It is no better than the free forms you can find online.

Reply from Staff

Hi Terry, thanks for the feedback. Your order was canceled and fully refunded. To clarify for other customers: our quitclaim deed package includes an exhibit/attachment page for legal descriptions and parcel numbers that run long, with instructions on when and how to use it, this is a standard approach for multi-page legal descriptions and is accepted by recorders.

Casey S. 5 out of 5 stars

I had a really good experience. I bought two forms from a different website and they didn’t help me at all. Granted, I only paid the minimum here I bought the upgrade and they showed me how to fill it out and what it should look like I went and had it notarized and took it to the county recorder and everything went smoothly. Highly suggest.

Glad it all came together smoothly for you, Casey. Appreciate you giving us a shot and taking the time to share your experience.
