I liked having the forms. Some may need to know they can look at the legal Description from online county records, then type up in Word document line by line, the degree sign in Word program is achieved by using alt and 248 on number pad. Then on the form page one write SEE Exibit A and title your Word program description as Exibit A. Goes without saying the legal description should be looked over many times and it is easier to do so if you format your Word the same lineage as the legal description online which is usually not text which is why you have to retype it.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

My first time using it; very fast service. I am an estate planning attorney (44 years). None of my old title company contacts are around anymore to provide deed copies, so this is a great source. I will be using it again.
Thank you Lawrence, we appreciate your feedback. Have a fantastic day!

The deed is presently at the auditors office and will be recorded after approval from zoning board. As far as I know, everything is going along well. A self addressed envelope was left at recorder's office for return after recording is complete.
Thank you!

I got the form and guide just fine, but the "completed example" showed up as another blank form.

This is a very useful site for downloading legal forms - just be sure you're getting the form you need before buying. Unfortunately I selected the wrong form initially and had to buy a 2nd form to correct my error. I saw no way of communicating my error at that point - i.e., loss of one star.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Got the forms I needed after getting forms for the wrong county and paying twice. My bad!
Thanks for your feedback! Just to clarify—when an order is placed for the wrong county, we’re happy to help. In this case, we canceled the original order and refunded the payment so there was no duplicate charge. Glad you got the correct forms in the end!

I am an invalid and needed just one quitclaim form. I was able to quickly enter and complete the form. Unfortunately, it will probably be a last hurrah for me..
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
