While you can find generic forms online, Arizona has very specific recording requirements. Small errors in legal descriptions, notary acknowledgments, or margin sizes can lead to county rejections, clouded titles, and unexpected legal fees. I conduct a "Pre-Recording Audit" on every document to ensure it is done right the first time.

A Beneficiary Deed acts like a "Transfer on Death" (TOD) account for your home. It allows you to name who will inherit your property without giving up any control during your lifetime. Upon your passing, the property transfers automatically to your beneficiaries—no court intervention or expensive probate required.

Yes. I specialize in assisting surviving spouses, heirs, and trustees with Affidavits of Death. I help you navigate the paperwork required to update the property title so you can sell, refinance, or manage the estate according to how the current deed of record reads.

A Quitclaim Deed is most commonly used to move property between family members or into a Trust, as it transfers whatever interest the owner has without making extensive "warranties." A Warranty Deed provides the highest level of protection for the buyer, stating the title is clear of any liens or encumbrances. I can help you determine which instrument is appropriate for your specific goal.

No. You work with a Certified Legal Document Preparer (CLDP #82247) and Notary Public. You do not receive legal or tax advice, and your communications are not protected by attorney-client privilege. In Arizona, legal document preparers can assist with document preparation without attorney supervision.

You can request preparation for deeds, title-change documents, affidavits, easements, land splits, LLC formation documents, Small Estate Affidavits, real estate powers of attorney, and other real estate or estate planning documents. If you are unsure whether your document fits, you can send the details for review.

You start with an initial consultation so your needs can be confirmed. Next, the required information is gathered, the document is drafted, and you review it for accuracy. After final approval, the document is prepared for execution and, if needed, notarization and recording.

Once you approve the estimate and payment is received, your documents are usually prepared within two to three business days. If your matter is more complex, timing may vary, and you will be advised during the review.

No. I handle the entire recording process for you. I utilize electronic recording (e-recording) where possible, which typically results in your document being officially filed the same day I receive your signed originals in the mail.

Yes. After you return the signed originals, the documents are submitted for recording, often the same day when e-recording is available. Once recorded, you receive PDF copies of the recorded documents by email, and the originals are mailed to the address you provide.

The fee to prepare a document depends on the specific details and the intended outcome. Typically, the starting price for preparing a basic deed is $225, which covers both the preparation and recording service fees.

You can pay with cash, check, credit card, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay or by ACH.
