SIGNATURE READY IN 72 HOURS OR LESS...
We typically are able to complete deed preparation orders within 72 hours. Often, it is less - depending on the scope of services selected by the customer. If you require "priority service", please note this requirement on your order and we will attempt to accommodate the request. While most deeds are prepared within 72 hours, these milestones are subject to change and may be extended where additional research is required, where the initial order is incomplete, or where additional documents and other information is needed.
