No. Nothing to cancel, no memberships, no recurring fees.

A statutory Notice to Owner (NTO) form, under section 713.06 of the Florida Revised Statutes, is a fairly simple document. Sent to an owner by any lienor (subcontractor, sub-subcontractor or material supplier without a direct contract between the two parties), this document informs the owner that the lienor has or will commence the supply of labor, services, or materials for the purpose of improving their real property. The NTO is a first step in securing a mechanics lien on the property.

Florida's lien statute requires lienors as defined at 713.01(18-20) to serve the owner with a NTO form, even if the claimant is not a direct party to a contract with the owner. The lien law sets forth the required contents of the NTO, which must include the lien claimant's name and address, a description of the property, and a description of the services or materials furnished. The claimant must serve the owner either before commencement of the work or furnishing of materials, or within 45 days of such furnishing. Failure to serve the NTO in accordance with the lien statute renders associated liens invalid.

The NTO should be served on the owner in accordance with service methods prescribed under Florida law. The easiest (and least expensive) method is to use certified mail. Other acceptable methods include personal service and posting the notice at the jobsite as a final alternative.

Each case is unique, so contact an attorney with specific questions or for complex situations involving a Notice to Owner or other issue related to Florida's Construction Lien Law.

Forms used, created quitclaim deed that the county accepted without a second look (turns out they see deeds.com forms regularly via erecording and in person). Will be back for any real estate related forms I need and they carry. Will always be my first stop. Also, will use erecording next time, mad I didn't see it this time.

Sorry to hear that your expectations were missed. Your order has been canceled. We do hope that you find something more suitable to your expectations elsewhere. Do keep in mind that purchasing legal forms should not be an exploratory endeavor.

Get Rid of the places to initial each page on the Trust Deed. The Co. Recorder (Davis) does not require that each page be initialled... If I and the "borrower" had initialed each page, then I would have to use US Mail to get the form from AZ to UT because scans of initials are not acceptable, but only a notarized signature from the borrower is...

Amazing service. Immediate responses at all hours of the day and prevent late in the evening! Patient and friendly. I will say that Adobe scan did not work well for me. Notes app for IOS has a scan feature and that seemed to work best.

The program fields should allow the customer to change font size and allow additional space for information to be place on the Deed.
Not Bad, still needs improvement.

Reply from Staff

Thank you for your feedback Maurice. Unfortunately we do not make the requirements for things like font size and margins, we only make the documents to be compliant with them.

Service was fantastic. So helpful and they promptly get back with you. No reason to drive if you are out of state and need to get a deed filed. Safe way to file if you don't want to go to public office or can't physically get there.
