The agreement between you and DeedPlatform when you order a deed transfer. Version 2026-09-22.
DeedPlatform is the ordering and client-experience layer operated by 50deeds LLC. It runs at deedplatform.com and at partner subdomains in the form yourfirm.deedplatform.com. "We" and "us" mean 50deeds LLC operating DeedPlatform; "you" means the person or firm using it. Deed review and recording are carried out through our service provider.
By confirming an order, creating a partner portal, or using the partner API, you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not place an order.
We take your order, collect what the county and state require, arrange attorney review of your deed, and file it with the county recorder through our service provider. Every deed is reviewed by an attorney licensed in the state where the property sits.
Three things follow from that, and they matter:
A partner firm sets its own branding, its markup, and who on its staff can see orders. It is a separate business from us, with its own terms and its own privacy policy, and we are not responsible for what it tells you or promises you. We are responsible for the platform, the attorney review we arrange, and the filing.
A portal address in the form yourfirm.deedplatform.com is issued on your say-so. When you create one you represent, and we rely on it, that:
What we actually check is narrower than that, and it is worth being plain about. The address is derived from the domain of the work email you sign up with, and the portal does not open until you click a link sent to that address. That shows you receive mail at the domain. It does not show that the firm has authorised you, and we do not verify authority, ownership of a name, or trade-mark rights. We may hold a signup for review where the name resembles one people already trust, but that is a spot check, not a search.
Responsibility for the name rests with whoever claims it. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable to you or to anyone else for the choice of a subdomain, for a firm's name being used in one, or for any claim that such use infringes a right, breaches a professional or advertising rule, or misleads someone — whoever brings it, whether the firm named, a competitor, a regulator, or a client.
If you are the firm named and a portal has been opened without your authority, write to support@deedplatform.com and we will act on it. We may suspend, rename, or reclaim a subdomain — including one already in use — where we have a credible report that it was claimed without authority or infringes a right, where the name is reserved, or where the account is closed. Orders already placed are not affected: they are completed and the deeds delivered whatever happens to the address.
You must be at least 18 and legally able to enter this agreement. When you confirm an order you are telling us, and we rely on it, that:
Names are the single most common cause of a rejected deed. If a name is wrong and the county rejects the instrument, correcting and re-filing it is chargeable work.
Your total is the service fee plus the county recording fee, and, where we apply one to orders placed through the partner firm's portal, a platform fee or a platform discount. The service fee covers attorney review and filing, and includes the partner firm's markup where there is one; that part is not itemised for you. A platform fee or discount is always shown as its own line. Every line of your total is shown on the review and payment pages before you pay, and the total shown there is what you are charged.
The recording fee is an estimate. Counties set their own fees and change them without notice. You are responsible for the difference if the county charges more than we estimated.
Taxes are not included. Transfer and conveyance taxes, and any income, capital gains, estate or inheritance tax consequence of the transfer, are yours. We do not calculate, collect, or advise on them.
Payment is taken in the portal by card or bank account through Stripe. We are the merchant of record and your statement will show our descriptor, not the partner firm's.
Ask us to cancel before work on your deed begins and we refund in full. Once an attorney has reviewed your deed, that work has been performed and is not refundable. A recording fee already paid to a county cannot be recovered by us — the county has it.
If we cannot complete your order for a reason that is ours, we refund what you paid for the part we did not deliver.
You upload the current deed and any trust or entity paperwork; we pass them to our service provider for your deed. Uploaded documents are deleted 30 days after your deed is recorded, and the recorded deed itself is kept so you can retrieve it. See the DeedPlatform Privacy Policy for the full picture.
Any timeframe we show is an estimate. County recording offices work at their own pace, some still on paper, and we do not control them. We do not guarantee a recording date.
A recorded deed is a public record. Once filed, the names, the property description and the rest of the instrument are permanently available through that county and outside our control. This is inherent to recording a deed. If that is not acceptable to you, do not record one.
Keep your sign-in link and password to yourself; anything done through your account is treated as done by you. Tell us promptly if you think someone else has access. Do not attempt to reach another firm's portal or another client's order, probe or disrupt the service, scrape it, or use it to break the law.
Firms with API access are responsible for every order placed with their key and for keeping that key secret. We may rate-limit, and we may revoke a key that is being used in a way that threatens the service or other partners. Orders placed by API carry the same terms as orders placed in a portal, and the firm is responsible for having obtained its client's agreement to them.
The service is provided as it is. We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted or error-free, that a county will accept a particular instrument, or that a transfer will achieve any particular legal, tax or estate-planning result. Statutory warranties that cannot be excluded are not excluded.
To the extent the law allows, our total liability for any order is limited to what you paid us for that order. We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, for lost profit, or for a tax consequence of a transfer you chose to make. Nothing here limits liability for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited.
If a claim is brought against us because a name, an ownership statement, an authority, or a document you gave us was wrong, because of the firm name you claimed or the subdomain issued for it, or because you used the service unlawfully, you will cover our reasonable costs in dealing with it.
We may update these terms. Each version carries a date, and the version you accepted is recorded against your order — so an order is governed by the terms as they read when you confirmed it, not by whatever is on this page later. Material changes affecting an order in progress will be emailed to the contact on that order.
