Fillable documents, after a download, would be helpful. Very good to have all these forms online and accessible for an overall fee.

5 Stars isn't enough! I worked with KVH today (12-30-20) to get some deeds filed in Dallas County before the end of the year. Timing was critical and I thought my only option was to record in person. Someone suggested I try Deeds.com, and I'm very glad I did. KVH provided excellent service. Everything was quick and efficient, and I highly recommend using this service. Thanks!

I am pleased with this electronic service in making a time sensitive deed transfer since very few options exist currently with the Covid 19 Crisis. This was the only rapid and available option to record the deed transfer and the fee was reasonable. I was able to upload my notarized and executed document and had a record number as well as the official document within 24 hours. It was simple and easy to use. Thank you deeds.com!!

I really appreciate your forms according to South Dakota laws and statues. Your forms allow me to effectively do estate planning without extensive legal expenses. The "Revocable Transfer of Death Deed" is perfect to protect against extensive probate problems for seniors in retirement. Thank you and May God Bless.
