Changing ownership from myself to a Trust

[StevenTing]

I know many people here have their weeks/points held in a trust. Right now I have 3 weeks and 1000 DC points in the name of myself and my wife. I'm contemplating changing the title over to a trust and was wondering if this would affect my status as Premier and if I could possibly lose my enrolled status of my weeks.

I haven't contacted Marriott yet but I wanted to see if someone else has done this before I put forth all of the time and effort. I don't have a trust in place either but if TUG and then Marriott confirm this would work without a change in status, I want to move forward.

I think I have my answer from the FAQ but not 100% sure.

Marriott allows ownership Transfers of DC Points and Enrolled Weeks among "Family Members" (as defined,) with all usage rights assumed by the new Owner/Member. Marriott may or may not charge various related fees, including an Initiation Fee or an Enrollment Fee if the new owner is not an existing DC Member at the time of transfer. For information contact the Owner Modifications office at 800-443-4391 or owner.modifications~AT~vacationclub.com (change "~AT~" to "@", of course.)

You can do such a "transfer" to your own trust with no complications. It is not a transfer to a new person. The trust can even use your same social security number. It is not viewed as a change of ownership. This is no different than putting one's home in a living trust, which is also very common.
