My first submission was super quick and easy. I had trouble with the second submission, as I was not aware of what the county would require, but the team at Deeds.com walked me through every step of the process. Will definitely use again and refer business partners to Deeds.com!

Hello, I like how easy the form is to follow. I'm unsure however of how to proceed as what I am trying to do is have my name added to the deed so in event of death I have ownership.

This was easy to use and only contained one glaring error-where to send the completed form to finish the process. I’ve completed the form, does this mean I get the amended deed sent to me? I think not.
