Fonts for all fields are not the same. Collin County has a specified size it wants in all fields. Other than that every thing was fine.
Thank you!

I planned to use an attorney for this process but deeds.com made it so easy I was able to do it myself and I saved $330 in the process. I really appreciated the instructions and example provided on the site.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I purchased this form to add my boyfriend to the deed of our home. He owns his own business so he cannot be on our mortgage. The guide doesn't clearly explain adding a person rather than focusing on transferring during a purchase or selling of a home. For future, I'd recommend make a few different examples for those who are trying to use this for the other options a Quit Claim Deed is needed for.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
