Wow! That was easy! I was expecting a more difficult process. Upload your docs and wait for a response. Which was minutes later. I would give it 6 stars.

I am so glad I found this resource! As the Executor of a family members estate I wanted to save money by bypassing a lawyer as it seemed pretty straight forward to tranfer a Life Estate to the remainderman. (I had original deeds). But talking with 3 different states and 4 different counties - none of which seemed to need the same documents, I was almost ready to dump this in a lawyer's lap. This resource makes it simple!

The TODD form has been notarized and registered with my county Register of Deeds office, so it works just fine. My only quibble is that when I printed it out, it missed part of the last line of the notary's info and the fine print in the bottom corners. When I printed it at 90% scale, it included those things.

Helpful, but some of the blanks aren't large enough, particularly when the grantor is an affiant under a small estate affidavit, and that's the reason for $0 consideration.

Thanks, Katherin — we appreciate the helpful feedback. We’re reviewing the blank sizing and ways to better support small estate affidavit situations, including explanations for $0 consideration.

Your product package was thorough and I am the one who does not know how to use or begin to be interactive with a computer. I wish I had learned long ago....ok your directions appear to be clear but when you are not familiar to the words.....it can and is difficult.....I downloaded the forms and completed them by hand/pen.....I just hope it will be acceptable to the recorder....Thank you
