Questions answered? Let's get started!
The laws governing Missouri probate proceedings are codified at Chapters 472-475 of the Missouri Revised Statutes.
The personal representative's deed of distribution is a fiduciary instrument recorded as evidence that a distributee has succeeded to the decedent's interest in real property. A personal representative, who may alternately be referred to as either an executor or an administrator, is the person appointed by the Probate Division of the Circuit Court to manage the decedent's estate.
Use a deed of distribution to quitclaim the decedent's interest in real estate. By operation of law, the decedent's heirs automatically succeed to the decedent's interest, but a deed of distribution is recorded alongside the decedent's will, if applicable, to maintain an accurate chain of title. The PR's deed must meet all state and local standards for content and format. It also makes reference to the deceased owner and the probate case, and might require supporting documents such as an official copy of the death certificate.
Consult an attorney licensed in the State of Missouri with questions about personal representative's deeds or any other issue related to probate.

I would appreciate being able to increase the size of the blocks such as the Grantor block and the legal description block where information is enter on the form and to adjust the font. Otherwise great product,
Thank you for your feedback Michael. We do wish we could make that an option. Unfortunately, adhering to formatting requirements (specifically margin requirements) leaves a finite amount of space available on the page.

I think Deeds is a great site for learning. On recording a document, I had trouble. It was me, because I was new to the site.
Thank you!

I guess I got what I paid for. The site said I would be able to download blank PDF forms that I could fill out on my computer. I expected fillable forms, like I download for taxes. Instead the forms I got could only be completed by using Adobe Sign and Fill tools. These are much harder to use than fillable forms.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Great service! fast turnaround! I’ve used Deeds.com multiple times, and the software interface is easy to use. I was able to get Deeds for Nevada re-recorded (errors on my lawyers part), quickly with Deeds.com support. Thanks Deeds.com!!
It was a pleasure serving you. Thank you for the positive feedback!

I needed a Missouri Notice of Intent to Sell without a named designated buyer. Mo Statutes require notice be notarized and filed 45 days before any closing to protect buyer from liens. You do not have that document. We are flipping a house so it must be filed. Our lawyer was on vacation. Cannot find one anywhere on net. Finally got a template from our title company.
Thank you for your feedback Gloria.

Deeds was responsive and got back to me right away suggesting I go to the county and retrieve copies of the deed there. It's a couple of hundred miles away so was hoping I could do it online. A pretty good website though. Sorry we couldn't do business.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
