How it works
- Create it online. Answer plain-English questions and the deed is drafted for you.
- Sign in front of a notary. Everyone named as a signer signs in ink; the signing guide in your package marks every place to sign.
- Send it for recording. Every recordable document carries its own way straight into recording. Scan it to one PDF (300 dpi, up to 50 MB) and upload it.
- We review and file it. Our office checks the scan by hand within one business day of payment, files it with the county and emails you the recorded copy.
