I downloaded the Lady Bird deed. The process was quick and easy to download. Just select your county, fill out the form. You will need the property description from your original deed. In my case I had to go downtown Wayne County (Detroit). (Make an appt online). 1st you will have to get the property tax certified to ensure all taxes are paid to date (5th floor at the Wayne County Treasurer office). Give them the form you just filled out and they will stamp certified $5. After that take the form to the Register of Deeds (7th floor) appt needed. $18. Make sure it is properly notarized and all signatures completed. Once approved, they will scan it, stamp it, give it back with a receipt and mail a copy also. All Done. Worked beautifully. My co worker go a lawyer and paid over $250. I just used deeds.com and total for forms and going downtown with notarizing was less than $40 Yea!
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

We have been waiting for a Title Company to put a release of Lien together for the past 3 months. I figured it was taking way to long and decided to use template here instead. In less than hour I was able to add all the information on the template and provide forms to our Seller to use. We were buying and he didnt think they were necessary. But I refused to pay him in full until he agreed to sign papers at the bank, and of course in front of a notary. We turned around and filed the Release of lien paperwork at County Clerks office, we officially own our house. Thank you!
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

For the most part the process went smoothly. However, I have some suggestions to make the photo verification process better. 1) State up front that you must configure your appearance to conform with the photo on your state issued ID. In other words, take off you glasses if you are not wearing them in the photo. I know you issued that suggestion AFTER a couple of failed attempts. 2) I do not need glasses for driving, but I do need them for reading and close up work. I had difficulty reading the instructions about turning my head right and left on the screen without my glasses.
Thank you, Thomas. Both suggestions are fair and we have passed them along for the ID verification step. Glad the rest of the process went smoothly.

I was not able to add more linea to the deed and add up to four people and their addresses. The document should be able to be expanded.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
