Simple and easy to use. I was thrilled to find deeds.com during my online search for deed forms and more pleased that I could narrow it down by state and county. Thanks

Works ok but could have more specific information. My wife and I both own the Quit Claim property, should we both sign as Grantors?

Nice an easy. Just wondered if I can come back and still have my order (forms) available to get again, if I have an issue with saving them.

I found the process of downloading and completing the documents very user friendly. Thank you for the Declare Value instructions. It was easy to follow, though a sample of the declaration form would be very useful. I didn't know how to list my "capacity" so I left it blank so the recorder could advise me. Otherwise, thank you so much for being available for people who are capable of completing simple legal tasks without the expense of a lawyer. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

So far it's been great. My 2 deeds were accepted and prepared for recording very quickly. Now I am waiting for the County to record them and Deeds.com to e-send them back to me. Very impressive!

Special Warranty Deed I can't seem to type all my info in the blank spaces. It won't allow me to type any more. Maybe you should consider either allowing typists to type more (leaving more space) or allowing more room to type more.

Your Guide is very good but does not explain precisely where one can find the Instrument Number for the originally filed Claim of Lien.
