My experience so far is quite good. Useful documents. It would be very helpful if the labels on the files downloaded were in text format, like "Jurat" rather than "1429107022SF21141." It would save me the extra step of providing proper file names.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

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!

Multiple attempts to straight answers to very simple straight forward questions about why my submission is not being accepted have gone unanswered. It's been two days and no answer that solves my problem.
Sorry we were unable to assist you Joseph. We do hope that you find something more suitable to your needs elsewhere. Have a wonderful day.
