Great and fast service. Would have been grate to have seen a little more detail or a pre-filled sample in the fields. Had a little confussion in some of the lines to fill out since the guide only explains a few of the lines not all of them. Otherwise, is really great to have this service with low cost. Thank you.

The form I purchased along with the instructions and completed sample were easy to use. I downloaded them on my iPad. I had to also download the free adobe reader app from the App Store. I had no problem getting the beneficiary deed recorded at the recorder’s office. I am pleased with my purchase.

Thanks so much for the kind words, Linda! Glad the sample and instructions made the process smooth, and that tip about the Adobe Reader app for iPad is genuinely helpful for other customers too. Congrats on getting the deed recorded!

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.

Reply from Staff

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.
