Wasn’t what I expected

Sorry to hear that your expectations were missed. Your order has been canceled. We do hope that you find something more suitable to your expectations elsewhere. Do keep in mind that purchasing legal forms should not be an exploratory endeavor.

As soon as payment was received the forms were downloaded, printed and were useable. The guide was helpful and I was able to get my forms filled out and filed with no problem here in Linn County Oregon. I would recommend the site to anyone.

I am very satisfied with the quality of the product I ordered. I have done similar property transfers/recording in the past on my own but paying for the forms and guidance is well worth it. The AI question area is extremely helpful. The example for the forms is perfect (as it has to be). I will absolutely use Deeds.com in the future for any related property needs. A+

Forms were spot on and able to save over $100 by not going to an attorney to complete the same documents. There were templates on how forms are supposed to be completed. You just need a notary to sign.
