I live in another city and state and your service allowed me to get what I needed done. in a matter of a few hours from the time I submitted my package for filing, within an hour. I received noted and stamped confirmation from the county clerks office the document was now on file with them.

Thanks for the complete and reasonably priced set of docs. I was specifically looking for and glad to find a current version of a TOD deed following the California extension.

The template isn't that easy to work with, with you have to type out large amounts of text. Also copy and paste doesn't seem to work. Furthermore, the code listed on the guide is out of date. However, the DQC is decent in that it has all the required fields you need.

Great do it yourself forms (I used the Quitclaim deed). If you think you're going to need a lot of hand holding you might consider hiring an attorney. The guide and general information provided by deeds.com will help if you have some idea of what you are doing and you are willing to research a little. Your mileage may vary but for me, this was a very efficient and economical way to get my quitclaim deed done.

It would be really nice if you had an example of the document full size that can be examined/read before having to pay. I was gambling that it was the exact document that I needed when I paid my fee. Fortunately, it was, and I commend you for that.
