Ordered the forms, completed them, had them notarized, then erecorded all in under 2 hours. Would have been faster but had to wait for the bank to open for notary. Might try the online notary next time. Fantastic experience.

After a little glitch due to heavy volume at the County Recorder, my document was recorded. County Recorder was closed to public access at the office (due to the coronavirus issues) so all documents were either mailed to them or sent in electronically. Deeds.com was very efficient at their end with very quick responses to my questions and concerns. I would definitely use their services again.

Requires you work in Adobe Acrobat. Too difficult to edit, add and erase for an attorney.

Sorry to hear of your struggle. We do hope that you find something more suitable to your needs elsewhere. Have a wonderful day.
