This was the first time to use the Deeds.com website for preparing my deed document. This was painless and easy to follow the instructions and sample package for filling in the blank boxes document. The city clerk was impressed to review my document and easily filed my deed record without questions. I would recommend anyone to prepare a legal form that is available from the Deeds.com website.

My overall experience was positive. Little trouble uploading documents but resolved. I had two mineral deeds to file in Arkansas, two different counties, exactly the same form, only difference being property description; one was completed, one was canceled. I emailed to inquire why and the reply was in an automatic email indicating that email address was not monitored and if further action would be taken on Deeds.com part, I would be notified. Other than that, I would recommend their services to avoid using snail mail.

The website worked fast but the information was limited and the actual deed of trust was what i was looking for from the county --- the info was limited
the website is fast and seemed accurate just limited the information I needed

The information and instructions provided is thorough and great. But, the fill-in-the-blanks form does not work well and is very frustrating. The font size of the information I was adding on each individual line varies and is determined by the number of characters entered on that individual line. So the font size is different on each line. And the number of lines is fixed making it impossible to fill in the full legal name of the trust I needed to fill out the form for. My needs are somewhat unusual, but the form should have been designed to be flexible enough to handle it. A blank paper form would have been more useful.

Very quick and easy! Didn't even have to leave the house and I didn't have to send via USPS which is nice since we are in a pandemic. The convenience of this site is worth the extra money. Would definitely use this site again.

I am very pleased with Deeds.com. They responded back very quickly, checked my forms, gave an example for a correction, and submitted the forms over the weekend. What more could you ask?
