Your system is completely unfriendly to the user. There is no clear way, unless you are a lawyer, to go through the the process without making mistakes.
Very disappointed attempted user
Sorry to hear that we failed you Bernadette. We do hope that you were able to find something more suitable to your needs elsewhere.

I appreciate having forms available and not having to go to a business supply or attorney. This is great. However, there are two individual quit claim deed forms and I don't know which one is appropriate.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
