This is the first time that I have used this service. An employee at the Clerk and Register office in Arizona suggested that I try Deeds.com to find the form I needed and the county office could not provide. I am a licensed Realtor in Colorado with a 43-year career and this service has not been necessary in my own state but it was extremely helpful in finding a form in Arizona. Five star rating for the very user-friendly website!
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I tend to not pay attention to the details and then blame other people. Thankfully Deeds.com has my back when I make silly mistakes.
Thank you!

Easy to use website and immediate documents appropriate for my area. My only complaint is that the forms had an alignment problem where the fields that were filled in by me did not line up with the template text. I tried to correct it to no avail so I ended up having to retype the entire document. I purchased two templates and both had the same issue.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

I like the basics. The one thing I would recommend changing would be, something that tells me I have actually have submitted my package, or that I can leave at any time without needing to click on a "Submit" button.

Your service is refreshingly clear, simple, and free of superfluous claims or unnecessary marketing. And, more affordable than other online legal document providers I've looked at. So nice! I forgot I had used it some years ago for another deed so glad you are still around for this time.
Thank you for the kind words John. Have a fantastic day!
