very efficient and easy to use online platform. I reviewed several different sites before I settle on this one. Took my deed to the courthouse today and recorded it with no problems.

Received the documents, but the explanation and process is not as straightforward as I would have liked. The Instructions and Sample document were not always easy to follow. I may just have a real estate lawyer perform the task.

The form was useful, however the formatting is terrible once completed. A lot of white space with no option to remove extra spacing or to improve the overall formatting.

Thank you for your feedback, Heidi. We’re glad to hear the form itself was useful. We also understand your concern about the formatting and extra spacing once completed. Our forms are designed to meet strict county recording requirements, which can sometimes result in additional white space. That said, we’re always working to improve usability and presentation without compromising acceptance. Your input helps us identify where refinements are possible, and we’ll keep it in mind as we continue updating our templates.

Very easy to use and no hidden costs. You get to download whatever you need and can save it and even reuse it. So it's like having your own library of form that you pay for once. They even give you more related forms than you ask for and it turned out we needed some if those forms as well. The forms meet what our county requires for margins in records and so on. So I will use deeds.com again when I need a different kind of legal form.

Example deed given did not apply to married couples as joint owners with both being grantors. The example and directions also did not show how to write more than one grantee as equal grantees. Both would have been helpful when husband and wife are granting their property to their children equally. Also when attaching the exhibit A with the property description the example did not say "see exhibit A"in the property description area, so I didn't write that. Luckily the recorder of deeds allowed me to write it in. I think directions and examples for multiple scenarios would be helpful.

My first time using Deeds.com and I am impressed how much you offer and how easy it is to use this site. Had the real-estate forms I needed plus a bonus of how to fill them out. Best value on the internet for real-estate forms and information.
