We have a grown daughter who would like to use a day pass To MOW when in town. In most cases we won’t be in town to accompany her and was told day passes are for owners accompanying their guest. They stated Day passes are only issued to those that are on the deed. I’ve done our own deeds in the past so that’s not a problem but can anyone else tell me what Marriott requires. I just tried calling owner services and received a recording saying the system was experiencing problems and to try again later. Thanks

Deed? the lawyers here may warn that anyone on the account ends up with liability to keep paying when the names on the account pass away, so if this is the case for Marriot MOW or Abound or whatever, make sure she would like to inherit it

Not sure what you are actually asking when you said you want to know "what Marriott requires". Are you referring to the day passes? Ownership changes? I can't speak to the day passes as that is done by property and the CC&Rs or the BOD of the property sets those rules. If you are referring to legally adding your daughter to your deed, in SC you can't "do your own deeds". SC law requires a lawyer be involved in the process. But that is a pretty extreme change to simply get her a day pass. If she really wants to go to MOW, it would be better to book a few days for her to stay there as a guest. If your deeded weeks are enrolled, you can rent Club Points from other MVC owners and book, if there is any point based inventory for when your daughter wants to stay. I would never add someone to the deed just for the purpose of getting her an occasional day pass. Ownership has consequences and obligations.

Well, now that I’ve had a couple of responses concerning legal advice, I will explain again, what I need help with.

We have owned 2 deeded weeks at MOW for 15+ years now. We own a second home in North Myrtle Beach now so we rarely go to MOW anymore but they are easy rentals so we keep them. Our adult daughter lives a reasonable distance away and uses our NMB home more than we do in the winter. We want her to be able and use the facilities at MOW while she is in town Whenever she wants. Current MOW policy is she must be accompanied by a deed holder.

Does Marriott require anything other than a new deed that I prepare in order to add her to our account? Thanks for all informed responses.

Just a general FYI. Anyone can prepare a deed in SC. I’ve done it several times for a unit we owned at Sheraton Broadway Plantation with no problems whatsoever. I have just never done one for a Marriott before and I know all the hoops they require us to jump through now when adding a name to a reservation, I can only imagine how much fun it will be adding a name to our acct.

Just FYI - South Carolina is an "attorney close" state, which means that real estate transactions must be overseen by a licensed attorney. So, sure, you can draft the deed, but the transaction itself still is required to be overseen by a lawyer. But, I digress.

As to your MVC deeded week, yes, you need to do more than just record a deed. You are required to complete the MVC internal transfer paperwork, pay the internal transfer fee, and send them a certified copy of the updated deed. Expect the process to take anywhere from 90-120 days on average. If your weeks are enrolled, then you'd want to process both of them, so that you don't end up with two separate ownership accounts and multiple dues. If there are inconsistencies in ownership, then you will have multiple accounts, each one owing Abound owner level dues. Also, if you use the ownership to maintain a specific owner level, then take that into consideration.

Change both weeks so they are not orphaned from each other. LT Transfers can do the deed once you get the OK from MVC.

Owners do not seek pre-approval from MVC to add someone to their deed. MVC will not tell them "ok". They complete the internal change form once the deeds are recorded.

True but there is a set of instructions and information that MVC will provide to anyone looking at this option plus any loan must be paid off if applicable.

Make sure your titles match at Sheraton broadway plantation or you can end up with 2 club dues
