The service was simple and easy enough but the UI isn't the easiest on the eyes and the process is a tad strange.

It was nice to find a form to use for leaving my house without having my kids deal with Probate Court. The price was a lot cheaper than paying for a Lawyer to set up a transfer of ownership.
