Very satisfied. Download was easy, completing the form was easy, got our signatures notarized and submitted it to the register of deeds. The only item was that the register of deeds did not immediately recognize the TOD deed form as the usual form they receive. After carefully reviewing all the information and wording on the deed she accepted it.

Your program was invaluable to us, I used it for my Mom's estate and when she passed the transition was seamless and no probate was involved. I am going to use this for myself to transfer my property over to my children in upon my death. Can't say enough positive things about it. Thanks, Allen

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+

I got the form and guide just fine, but the "completed example" showed up as another blank form.

I wanna give more stars because the required information is there, but the character spacing is disjointed on the first page, rendering a gap-filled, awkward-looking document. Also, the opening parenthesis for the first field on the first page is on the wrong line and is backwards, which sets the wrong tone especially since it's the first thing you have to fill out.

The form I purchased along with the instructions and completed sample were easy to use. I downloaded them on my iPad. I had to also download the free adobe reader app from the App Store. I had no problem getting the beneficiary deed recorded at the recorder’s office. I am pleased with my purchase.

Reply from Staff

Thanks so much for the kind words, Linda! Glad the sample and instructions made the process smooth, and that tip about the Adobe Reader app for iPad is genuinely helpful for other customers too. Congrats on getting the deed recorded!

Deed.com had some hard to find mineral interest deeds for Oklahoma.I'm an attorney in Texas with no Ok experience. The examples on Deed.com were very useful and saved me lots of time. James G.
