Fairly easy to use process and somewhat reasonably priced. Printed guide and sample filled in can be very helpful, too.

A suggestion: Include instructions on how to add your spouse to the deed, rather than transferring completely to a third party

Reply from Staff

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. Adding a spouse to a deed is a common need, and suggestions like yours help us identify where additional guidance would be useful. We’ll take this into consideration as we continue improving our resources.
