The process was fast and efficient. I did get a bit confused after entering info for my package but soon realized I had completed this part of the process and only needed to leave the page and wait for review of the document and then the invoice. It was pretty simple. After payment of the invoice I was notified that the document had been submitted. A few hours later I received notice that the document was recorded by the city. It was fast!
We are motivated by your feedback to continue delivering excellence. Thank you!

The guide I needed was very easy to understand and the template was easy to complete. I had a property attorney review the deed before I had it registered and she was impressed. She said she couldn't have written it better herself! Definitely worth the money instead of paying high dollar attorney fees for a simple task.
Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience!

Sorry, I did not see that I was in the wrong review and just sent a review of a "product" I ordered online.
As for Deeds.com I was very happy with the process and speed of getting the forms.
I have used this site before.
Highly recommend.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Your website advertising was somewhat deceptive regarding doing a quitclaim on a name change.
"If you are transferring the property to yourself under your new name, all you have to do is update the deed from your former name to your current one."
This made this sound easy. But when I downloaded the material for my state, expecting to find an example, there was no example of how to do a name change quitclaim deed!
I therefore had to figure this out myself. You might have provided a warning about certain uses that were not covered in the material so that people know ahead of time that the use they needed to know about wasn't covered in the material.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Awesome service! 4 services wouldn't handle a 1-time filing, but Deeds.com got the job done in less than 21 hours, for only $15 (plus filing fees). This saved me days of difficulty and aggravation, esp. during COVID-19 lockdown!
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I was very impressed with the Mineral Deed form, especially with the instructions to fill it out AND a copy of a completed for to compare against. This definitely saved me money for an attorney.
The one thing I don't understand, though, is why I could not save the completed Deed to my hard drive. I did have to change a few things after the fact and I had to re-type the entire page to make the corrections.
If not for this, I would definitely rate the forms and instructions as a 5 star.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
