The notice must set forth the party responsible for paying, identify the owner and lien claimant, the common name and address, and legal description of the subject property, a description of work or services provided including dates, the general contractor's name and address, and the amounts due along with any extras or past payment deductions noted.

WOW!!! Deeds.com came through with shinning colors. when I needed something recorded in a hurry and the county still shut down because of COVID, Deeds.com got the job done with very little trouble on my part and very quickly. I couldn't be happier. Will definitely recommend to anyone and everyone! Thank you to the staff for the quick work!

Great fillable form! And the separate instruction sheet was detailed and very clear. I particularly appreciate you including a sample of a completed form. I've filled in real estate forms before but never this one, and there were some things I didn't know.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

The form gave me a perfect place to start. I was looking for something regarding time-shares, so the form was not perfect, but the register of deeds worked with me to get it right. I would not have even been able to start without the form from deeds.com
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Easy access to forms saving lots of time researching reqmts from a State/Municipal Govt website. I saved 400-500 in lawyer fees but getting these forms, and coordinating with the Property recorders office in another state. Will use you again.
Thank you James. We really appreciate your feedback.

Sandra C. 5 out of 5 stars
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!

Disappointed. Description of Lien discharge form does not indicate it is specific to Mechanic liens. I'm inexperienced with liens & should have contacted someone before I ordered.
Sorry to hear that, it does look like our product description was lacking clarity. We have updated the description to better reflect the documents. We have also canceled your order and refunded the payment. Hope you have a great day.

I filled out the Kansas form and presented it to the Clerk of Deeds in Rawlins Co and there were no problems and no expensive attorney involved for a simple transaction.
Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience!
