Adoption by Grandparents and Stepparents in Florida I have previously blogged about the mechanics of Florida stepparent and relative Adoptions, Florida grandparent adoption forms, and Florida relative and stepparent adoption forms.

When couples divorce, one party may be entitled to a part of the other’s retirement fund(s). If a judge has ordered that you are entitled to receive a portion of your former spouse’s fund, you will most likely need more than just your Final Judgment of Divorce to make that happen. You will probably need … Read more

    I had an excellent experience with Florida Document Specialists. Lorena was professional, attentive, and very efficient throughout the entire online notarization process. Everything was handled quickly and smoothly, even though I am outside Florida. I felt well supported from start to finish and highly recommend their services!

    Great service. They've very responsive, friendly, and quick to help. I used their apostille services and was pleased with the speed and comprehensiveness of their services. I even ordered everything about as express as they offer and it didn't break the bank (though you're probably in for a couple hundred at least, be aware). Overall highly recommend.

    I love a company that is so very clear at what they can and cannot do. There is no way to be mistaken with what Florida Document Specialists does or their process due to their incredibly explicit instructions and explanations. On top of that, the customer service is fantastic. I had an issue where a page was missing. It looks like the scanner must have skipped the page and I missed it. Linda picked up on it, called me and helped me resolve it in the most efficient manner possible. Rare is it that you contact customer support and you get to talk to a human right off the bat, much less an extremely knowledgeable one, much less one that cares. Thank you, Linda!

I hired them because Florida was on a minimum six-week wait for apostilles, and one of my documents I had sent in for myself had been rejected. I didn’t want to wait nearly two months, so I decided to use their service.

I paid for the 5-day turnaround, but they actually completed everything and had it back in the mail in less than 24 hours! The process was incredibly simple and easy, and they carefully double-checked all of my documents before submitting them.

I highly recommend them if you need an apostille done quickly and accurately.

    I had to complete an online notary and, to be honest, didn’t realize that was even an option. The experience was faster and simpler than I expected. Communication from start to finish was clear and timely, and Linda and Amanda were great.  Everything proceeded without issues. If you need a notary, this online option is convenient and efficient.

    Florida Document Specialists prepared an Enhanced Life Estate Deed (Lady Bird Deed) for me. From start to finish, everything was 100% efficient and professional. I opted for the complete service of Typing the Deed plus the Notary and the County E-Filing. It was very simple to do online and very affordable. I will be using them again if needed for other services in the future. If you need a Lady Bird Deed, you’ve come to the right place. Thank you for your help!

    John, Linda, and Amanda were absolutely phenomenal. I gave them a ROUGH case to get done and they were able to get my deal across the finish line. I would recommend them for their notary and recording services to anyone that is in need. I usually don't review unless service is exceptional.

    The staff at Florida Document Specialists were very helpful in helping my 91 year old Mother with the preparation and filing of several documents. They were very accommodating and answered all questions she had. I appreciate the patience and time they caringly took with her explaining everything to her. We highly recommend them.

    I live in Ecuador, and there are times when a country makes unexpected changes to the documentation needs for visa holders.  When this happened to me, I called Florida Documents.  Literally within two hours my document notarization was completed, and on its way for apostille.  Trust me when I say this is a big deal...as documents can delay processing times, and that has real world consequences.  In my case, I spoke with two delightful people, and couldn't be happier.  Stellar experience.
