Simple and easy to download. After reading the instructions/sample pages I did still have some questions regarding the beneficiary deed for the state of MO.

Did not need power to "serve" contractor. All work done well, paid for, nothing more. Worth noting when things could go awry!

Not sure whether the two forms I printed will be helpful or not. Will find out when I go to a place for completion and to be notorized.

This was easy to use and only contained one glaring error-where to send the completed form to finish the process. I’ve completed the form, does this mean I get the amended deed sent to me? I think not.
