I like your service, but the error message I received yesterday was confusing. It said that Utah County does not record cover pages, so I should either remove the cover page or change the “order“ of the documents being submitted. This is ambiguous. I examined my package and it looked like the cover page was already being submitted separately, as a supporting document at the end, and there was no way to explicitly change the ordering of the submitted documents, that is up to your service. So I removed the cover page. But that makes me nervous, how will they know where to route it when it is done? So now I’m not sure if it was submitted correctly.
Thank you for the review, Kevin, and for laying out exactly what you saw.
The message you received ("Utah County does not accept cover pages for recording. Please remove or reorder to the back. Thank you.") came directly from the Utah County Recorder. We pass recorder rejection notes along as written, and we agree it was ambiguous. Rejection notes from recording offices often are, since they are written for people who file in that county every day.
Supporting documents always travel behind the main document they belong to, so there was nothing for you to reorder, and by your description the cover page was already at the back. With the cover page removed, the package matched what the recorder's note asked for.
On routing: nothing is mailed back with e-recording. The recorder records the document image, adds the recording information, and returns the recorded copy electronically through the e-recording system to us. It then appears on your package in your account and you get a message from us. A cover page plays no part in that, so leaving it out did not affect where your document goes.

The Deeds.com site made is relatively simple to download a Beneficiary Deed form specific to St Louis, which is great, because neither the city or state provide this. Thanks!
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

The service provided by the staff at Deeds.com is consistently excellent with prompt replies and smooth recording transactions. I am grateful to have their service available as driving to downtown Phoenix to record documents is always a daunting prospect. Their assistance in recording our firm's documents has been 100% accurate and a pleasure.
Thank you for your positive words! We’re thrilled to hear about your experience.
