I like that the quit claim form was fill in the blank on my computer instead of online, made it so much easier than having to do everything at once, at the mercy of the internet connection. Will refer others here.

I think Deeds is a great site for learning. On recording a document, I had trouble. It was me, because I was new to the site.
