It was easy to download the necessary "Death of Joint Tenant" forms. These easy to use interactive forms are made to comply with the laws specific to your state.

Quick and easy, but the 2MB file limit ended up causing some big headaches. Had I known the limit could be easily increased, it would have saved me a lot of time and trouble.

I was very pleased to find this service, as (another website) charges about $40 for the same service, so yours was a bargain.

I was very impressed. I needed a Grant Deed that would comply with Calif. law. I haven't tried to record it yet, but I think it's spot-on. References to statutes very helpful. I'm a retired Idaho attorney, and my first attempt was politely rejected by the recorder. (documentary transfer fee exemption, etc.)
