I sent Deeds.com an email with a question, asking for a little guidance as to which form(s) I need, but I'm waiting for a reply. My wife and I own 3 homes (2 in Indiana & 1 in Florida). We are needing to deed each to ourselves and put them into our living trust. I asked Deeds.com to please help by suggesting which forms I need for this. I do not want to get the wrong ones. I have not received a reply yet. When I receive a helpful reply and am able to purchase the correct forms, I am fairly certain my rating will go from 1 to 5. I withhold judgement until later.
Thank you for your feedback Michael. We make available do it yourself deed documents. We do not prepare documents or provide legal advice. If you have done research and are still unsure of which documents you need we are not the website for you. We highly recommend seeking the advice of a legal professional familiar with your specific situation moving forward. Have a wonderful day.
