ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW. I AM SO GLAD THAT SOMEONE THOUGHT OF THIS OPROCESS FOR NON-TITLE COMPANIES, SMALL COMPANIES, ETC. I REALLY APPRECIATED THE SERVICE WHEN I RECORDED MY FIRST SET OF DOCS HERE. THEY WERE A MESS AND I HAD A LOT OF QUESTIONS. AGAIN THANK YOU!

Thank you for your services...Attny office quoted a very large fee for the "TOD DEED" process, so this is very helpful that I am able to take care of this myself. If I would have researched your link sooner, I could have saved my Dad a lot of money for the "SURVIVORSHIP DEED". Thanks again & have a wonderful day:)
