Cherene K. 4 out of 5 stars
The process was easy and reasonable. My only problem was that, when I filled out my form on the computer, the writing I did overlapped with the pre-written words on the form, so that I had to end up doing it by hand. I've used DEEDS before and have not had that problem.
Thank you for your feedback Cherene. We've emailed you for some followup regarding the issue you reported.
