These forms made it so easy to update the property deed and the instructions and sample filled out form were most helpful. You might want to add some brief information on when or why to use the Acknowledgment in Individual Capacity notary form. In my case the notary was required to use it but also filled in the brief notarize section on the Affidavit as well. She said the one on the Affidavit had some value because it showed she had witnessed the my signature. But this was only after I suggested both be filled in as she initially thought to just strike through it and just use the Acknowledgment in Individual Capacity form.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Deeds was responsive and got back to me right away suggesting I go to the county and retrieve copies of the deed there. It's a couple of hundred miles away so was hoping I could do it online. A pretty good website though. Sorry we couldn't do business.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

In Colorado a Release of a Deed of Trust without the original note must be efiled - the Recorder said it had to be Simplifile or CSC Global neither of whom are designed to do a 1 off filing (you have to subscribe). Fortunately, I found Deeds.com - they were great. helped me work through a couple clerical issues and it is done. I am so happy and pleased. I would give them more stars if I could. I will spread the word among the realtors and title companies who couldn't help that there is a better option.
Thank you, John. We’re glad we could help get the Colorado release submitted and recorded. We appreciate the kind words and especially appreciate you spreading the word to others who may run into the same filing roadblocks.

Good site. Two things to note. 1. The Documentary Transfer Tax Exemption sheet, the word "computer" is used when I think it should be "computed" Error in state form? 2. The California Trust Guide could have a watermark which is less distracting. Kind of hard to read the print with the DEEDS.COM logo so prominent.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
