It was easy to download, but you need to open an account before doing so. That was not clear.
Your insights are invaluable to us and help us strive for better service. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.

Hello,
I like how easy the form is to follow.
I'm unsure however of how to proceed as what I am trying to do is have my name added to the deed so in event of death I have ownership.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Your instructions and sample are geared towards businesses. It would have been helpful to have included some for us individuals as married couples as well.
I also recall one or two spelling errors on the form that I could not fix, and the instructions seem to be for a prior form. This particular registry also required a stamped self-addressed envelope for return of documents. Hey, you asked!
Overall, pleased.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

It was OK but unfortunately useless. The jurisdictions are now requesting that documents such as Notices of Commencement not only be recorded at their offices, but also certified. This last service is not provided by Deeds, or at least I could not find it in your website and did not receive a response when I asked if you did. Thus, we are going back to traditional means of recording/certifying
Thank you for your feedback Jose. We do hope that you find something more suitable to your needs elsewhere. Have a wonderful day.
