Disappointed. Description of Lien discharge form does not indicate it is specific to Mechanic liens. I'm inexperienced with liens & should have contacted someone before I ordered.
Sorry to hear that, it does look like our product description was lacking clarity. We have updated the description to better reflect the documents. We have also canceled your order and refunded the payment. Hope you have a great day.

I was so happy I found a way to register my deed electronically! The county I live in only does e-file through vendors who service law firms and large volume documents. I had everything done electronically only to hit a brick wall doing warp speed when it came to this last part. So far everything is going super smooth and very easy. The price is worth it to be able to get this deed done because I'm doing a life estate deed to my late boyfriends daughter. She's getting married soon and this is my gift to her since her daddy can't be here. Thanks Deeds.com This means a lot, and I plan on bringing my business back provided everything finishes well. I will definitely follow up soon!
Thank you, Calida. We’re glad we could help make the electronic recording step easier, especially for something so meaningful. We appreciate your trust in Deeds.com and look forward to helping whenever you need us again.
