The fill-in pdf produced a messy document and several of the fields too small to accommodate the text. A tailorable MS Word document would have been far better. I would not recommend using this product.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the fill-in PDF did not meet your expectations, particularly with regard to formatting and field sizing.
Based on your comments, we will be reviewing the document to see where improvements can be made. Feedback like yours is genuinely helpful in identifying areas where our forms can be clearer and easier to use.
We’ve gone ahead and canceled your order and refunded your payment in full, so there’s no expectation that you use a product you wouldn’t feel comfortable recommending.

The e-recording service was invaluable. This was my first experience recording a document in any capacity. The feedback I received was useful, concise, and presented kindly. I cannot imagine having to try to record by mail, or without the guidance that was provided to me.
We are delighted to have been of service. Thank you for the positive review!

The forms, and other information, are all excellent. I would be giving a 5-star review if it were not for the fact that downloading a "bundle" about quitclaim deeds required I download every single file independently (15 files). I would far prefer a zip file, or one click to download the whole pile of independent files.
Your feedback is valuable to us and helps us improve. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
