Recently divorced and need some advice on how to get name off ownership. I have one Wyndham select, and 3 deeded contracts. Is anyone aware of a company that does things like this? I know quit claim deed, and deeds need to be redone. Thanks in advance
 
It's easy to remove an owner with Wyndham. Call Title Services and they will send a link to fill out a docusign form.

That's all you need is a quit claim deed where she signs as grentor. When done send to Wyndham with fees.

FYI - just make sure you understand that it isn't "removing" a name from a deed, rather, it is the one who will no longer be an owner conveying their ownership interest to the other person. So, if this is part of a dissolution of marriage, the deeds required to effectuate the settlement should be prepared by or orchestrated by your dissolution attorney. If you own timeshares in a state where you do not reside, consider engaging the services of LT Transfers if your attorney doesn't want to oversee the preparation of a deed to be recorded where the timeshare is located. And, if you owned the timeshare jointly, then both you and your ex will sign the deed (complying with the notary requirements of where the timeshare is located) conveying that timeshare from the two of you to just you. As long as you are doing this as part of a dissolution, IMO it is better to prepare a grant deed and not a quitclaim.
 
I did this last year I had to get a title company involved in FLa for Wyndham Palm aire to get my ex of of it, needed her to sign. It was like closing on a house and had it refiled under my name cost me 500 bucks out of pocket would have been cheaper to keep her on it.. but anyway it isnt cheap, people here said just fill out a form when you call they will ask for the title information etc... its not easy
 
You can, with a little effort, likely do this yourself without engaging an attorney or a closing company. @rickandcindy23 just did a whole mess of transfers herself. The starting point is to get your existing deed and essentially copy that over into a new deed where you and the ex-wife as grantor's convey the deed to just yourself. It is helpful to call the county clerk/ (or comptroller's office in FL) and be super nice to ask them about recording fees/tax/local quirks and rules, but you can definitely save a lot of money on closing costs doing it this way.

The issue that those not familiar with the laws of the state where the property is located is compliance with state notary laws. For example, in FL, all deeds require two witness signatures, in addition to the notarized signature and jurat. Frankly, with a divorce, the dissolution attorney should oversee the completion of the documents connected to the property allocated among the former spouses in the dissolution. If there are issues with the former spouse voluntarily executing the required documents, then the dissolution judge can order it be signed.

And it will be expensive. And if your divorce lawyer is not in the state of the timeshare, they will likely decline the assignment.

If not up to doing it yourself (I would not be, and I am a lawyer), get LT Transfers to do it.

They will charge you $255 + $20 postage. There may also be recording or transfer fees, but you would be charged that even if you do it yourself.

look at #4. I suggested LT Transfers. I agree that is better than a DIY. Those are prone to error.
 
When my ex and I divorced back in the 1980's we owned a timeshare. He got it . All we did was a quit claim. This was in California.

Unless there's been a change LT Transfers will no longer handle Wyndham transfers. I think it was sometime in late 2022 or early 2023 that there was a brief period of time they weren't handling Wyndham but then gave Wyndham another chance. Wyndham repeatedly proved unworthy of that chance. It says nothing good about Wyndham when one of the, if not the, most well known and respected transfer companies refuses to deal with them because of Wyndham's incompetence and mismanagement.

It would probably still be worth contacting them as they might consider processing what’s essentially a retitling while keeping one of the original owners, rather than an outright transfer to an unrelated individual.
 
I asked LT about their new policy a couple of weeks ago and it seems there is a little give there. If you've previously done business with them and all parties are crystal clear on the likelihood of significant delays and frustrations, they might consider assisting with a transfer. And I second the idea that they are more likely to assist a consolidation of title into a single individual. Never hurts to ask.
 
So if not LT Transfers than who? I would like to get my Dads name off the ownership as he doesn't travel anymore and put my sisters name on it which he is in full agreement to do so. Any suggestions?

I’ve used Resort Closings out of Bozeman Montana (for a resale purchase). They were very good as well.
