Thank you for the prompt instructions on the download and installation. The only problem I had was trying to input data into the form once I renamed the form.and saved it. I was unable to change the size of the font and was very frustrated. In the end I finally had to redo the entire form through Word using your format.

I couldn't even look for a deed because the website said that deed/title searching wasn't available. Very disappointed about it.

Reply from Staff

I'm sorry to hear that you had a disappointing experience with the website's deed/title searching feature. It can be frustrating when a feature you were hoping to use isn't available.
We do hope that you found what you were looking for elsewhere.
