The papers allowed me to get done what I needed. But for the price I would expect a spell check. There were spelling errors when there should not have been any. Please proof read

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.
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.

The certification of trust looks fine to me. I printed it and filled it out and had it notarized today. I have not sent it to the company that wants it yet so that will be the test. They are very picky. If they have any comment I will let you know.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
