The affidavit guidance was a great help and helped reduce the stress that usually comes with dealing with legalese. The Preliminary Change of Ownership that CA requires is quite complex since it covers a hoard of situations. I was left with a bit of uncertainty, but I definitely wouldn't want to try it without guidance.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Quick and easy. Would recommend this site to everyone. Deed was sent to the site and recorded at my local county within 24 hours. Website could be set up better. Not labeled well for us that is not computer savvy.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

I thought the price was rather extreme $39 for three pieces of paper, but I guess that’s what I needed
Thank you for the feedback, Donna. We know nobody enjoys paying for paperwork. Each form is prepared to meet your county's specific recording requirements and includes a guide and a completed example, so it's accepted the first time. We appreciate your business.

Perfectly easy, perfectly complete! I had no problems with downloading these forms. I have been a paralegal for 20 years and came up on a situation where I was not familiar with the forms. Deeds.com saved my life and allowed me to get the documents done and done right. I will keep deeds.com on my list of favorites!
Thank you Carole. Glad we could help. We appreciate you taking the time to leave your review.

Very disappointed that you had certain documents but did not have the accompanying documents needed to complete the transfer. I also had issues with the documents not allowing you to fill in the pages... example the document was prefilled in as so ... Page 1 of_____ but you could not fill in the blank... I tried reaching out to your customer service, but they had no solution for me. So, I had to write in the page, which didn't look professional. I think I could have gotten documents just as good for free if I'd research a little longer.
Thank you for your feedback, Nancy.
The Virginia Transfer on Death Deed and the Virginia Transfer on Death Beneficiary Affidavit are separate documents and are offered individually because many customers only need one, depending on their situation. In your case, the affidavit was later ordered separately.
Regarding the page numbering (“Page 1 of ___”), that field is intentionally left blank. The total number of pages is not known until the document is finalized, signed, notarized, and all attachments (such as exhibits or legal descriptions) are included. It is standard practice to complete that portion by hand at execution so the final page count accurately reflects the recorded document.
We are unable to locate a customer service inquiry associated with your order, but we are always glad to assist when contacted directly.
We appreciate your feedback and wish you the best with your transfer.

Although I was given quite a bit of information, I wanted my property title. I was not informed of what I would receive before I paid for this service.
Thank you!
