Best transfer company to transfer a deed

[bestpal38]

Who is the best transfer company out there? Need to transfer a deed out of my deceased mothers name into mine. TIA

This is who I use - they are Tuggers, they get high marks on TUG, and they are efficient and inexpensive compared to other companies. I have used them for Wyndham deed transfers:

L.T. Transfers

+1 for LT Transfers, we used them and were very happy with their service and communication.

Why wouldn't you use Ovations (I think they call it Legacy). I thought Wyndham took care of family transfers (in your situation) for no fees. Sorry for your loss.

LT Transfers charges under $200 in closing plus the Wyndham $299 resort transfer fee. It may be worth the additional $200 not to deal direct with Wyndham unless the OP has VIP benefits tied to this ownership.

They told me I need to transfer the deed into my name. I am the executor, but since my mother had no assets, and there was no will, the timeshare was the only "asset", I'm wondering since it's considered real estate, if I need to go Probate. I'm listed as executor on the wyndham page, but they won't do the transfer for some reason

What resort is the deed at? If it is a higher maintenance fee deed let it go. If you have VIP benefits attached to it you may want to keep it and transfer it into your name.

I've heard that before. Until it's in your name, they cannot transfer the account to you. It's their standard practice that the deed has to be in your name. Otherwise, you could walk away at any time. Did she have VIP status? If not, what resort did she own? Both of those questions are important in deciding whether or not to take on the financial commitment. If she has VIP, I would recommend keeping it if you can afford the monthly payments and can use it. She invested a lot of money into it, and it can enhance your ownership. I would suggest you handle the transfer part through Wyndham after the deed has been recorded in your name. That's the only way you will retain VIP status. Just make sure LT knows you only need the deed part done. You will handle the rest through Tribute. If they submit the paperwork to Wyndham, it might go through the wrong channels and you will lose VIP status. If she does not have VIP, but she owns at a low maintenance fee resort, it might be worth keeping. If it's high maintenance fees, it might be worth walking away from unless you plan on making a purchase of more points. You can trade those in for a lower maintenance fee resort points, but in most cases, you have to be at that resort to purchase them. So if you want Canterbury points, you have to travel to Canterbury.

I'm sorry for your loss. I know what it's like to lose a parent. Hopefully, you can enjoy what she left you.

As far as probate, you will need to consult with an estate attorney. You may only need a death certificate and proof you're the executor. The executor doesn't always mean they inherit the assets. It just means you're responsible for ensuring the estate is settled. Since your her son, they may not ask for more.

The deed is at Bali Hai, very low MF's. Also it is VIP gold, and I have added a couple free contracts to it. She had 2 contracts, one was already in my name as joint tenant. So I definitely want to keep it.

I would want to as well. Good choice. You do have to have all the deeds in your name since she is not deceased and they have no one to be responsible for the maintenance fees on the ones you are not on. Good luck.

Hawaiian transfers may be more involved than for other states and counties. They specifically require your transfer to be done by a local entity, but if there’s no escrow involved that may simplify their requirements.

Hopefully Hawaii won’t require that a separate probate to be opened and as Richelle said just require both the letters of authority and a death certificate to initiate the transfer.
