Thank you for the update. There are a number of law firms in Florida that do ladybird deeds(online), costing $250 and up. And, there are DIY forms online. I haven't made a choice yet as to which way to go. Again, thanks!

If you want a local attorney, I got a quote from Kathren Linn, PA, 352-330-1263, for $580. It still seems high to me.

See Post No. 35. The form is pretty simple and free to print out. Most notaries are also free and easy to find. I wouldn't pay a non-lawyer $250 to fill out the form.

You just take it to the county clerk and they will receive it and stamp it. You will get a stamped copy proving that it was recorded. Very easy.

So what if you mess up. It is only your children who will face the dread of trying to fix your legal mistakes.

I can't wait for a posting on do-it-yourself open heart surgery! Why pay a doc when we all have sharp knives in the kitchen!
