Seaview Wa. and LaCenter Wa.
I'm trying to give my niece my timeshare in Hawaii.
The company that I went thru when I bought my timeshare in Hawaii was based in Florida.
It worked well and was reasonably priced.
I've called, left .essages and filled out online paperwork.
I received am email that one of their experts would contact me.
NOTHING.
Soleil management told me they use Chicago title to do this.
I have my original deed and
Estopple from resort.
I've called 3 different title companies. 2 local to me and 1 in Maui.
Maui said I need to get an attorney to file a quit claim deed and record the sale in Hawaii, plus settle up with the resort myself.
Attorney charges 750.
Does anyone know if there is a better solution?
 
+1 I have used LTT many times - they are Tuggers and are highly regarded on TUG.
 
@kkrobinson you have been a TUG member (THANK YOU!) for 15 years WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!?!?! Long time TUGgers (you qualify) know that LLTransfers is the go-to agency. They are simply the BEST!
 
LT Transfers handled the gratuitous transfer of my dad's several Hawaii timeshares to his children, several years ago. I can personally vouch for them.
 
Like many other Tuggers, LT Transfers has always been our go-to agency. Also, be sure to check with your timeshare company about giving your niece your timeshare. Since she is not your "immediate family" such as children, parents, grandchildren, etc., they may suggest that you add her to your deed first or file a quit-claim deed. Then LT Transfers can help you with the process if you need to add her to your existing deed. (In a few years, I will be going through the same process, and will be contacting LT Transfers again!).

If your niece isn't already on TUG, please guide her over here to learn how to make the best use of her new timeshare.
 
Copy your deed .White out grantee and grantor. Put your name as grantee.Put niece's name as grantee. You sign as grantee. Send to recording county or city and HOA. have your signature notarized.

We have done this in the past with no problems. We have also used a quit claim form. The recording fees have increased significantly but aren't outrageous.

This should work, but be sure you copy everything exactly other than changing names and dates. One thing to add is get your signature notarized. Even in states that require attorneys licensed in that state to prepare deeds, there is generally an exception to that if one of the parties, the grantor or grantee is the preparer.
 
Has anyone transferred a Texas deed of a deceased out of state owner (w/o a will) to adult child and know what form needs to be completed? Is it only the Affadavit of Heirship LT transfers does not handle Texas timeshares.

Honest timeshare transfer companies, like LT, follow state laws, and if they are required to be licensed in a state but are not, they may associate an attorney there to help with the process, or they may just not operate in that state.

If a piece of real property, including a timeshare is in an estate that has no will, then it passes by what is called intestate succession, and each state has its own rules on that. It would pass by the intestate rules of the state where the property is located. You may want to do an internet search for "intestate succession Texas".

When I was an HOA president, our resort and some others I was aware of on the Outer Banks of NC had HOA attorneys who would do deeds for our own resorts and members at a reduced fee. You might want to check with management of the Texas resort and ask if there is a local attorney who does deeds for the resort.
 
Thank you for the information!

Regretfully, from what I understand -- Sellers have to use a Closing Company in Hawaii to handle timeshare transfers. Spoke to LT Transfers about handling the closing/transfer process and they can't do it (unless it's a gift). Of course, if there is a $0 sales price, I sweat having Marriott not signing the ROFR waiver and basically giving it back to them.
 
Are you selling or gifting the week to your niece?
 
You do not have to use a company in Hawaii to transfer a timeshare - you only have to use an ESCROW company in Hawaii. However, if it is a gift, there are no funds to escrow, and you can use LTT.

I could be wrong, but I think that Hawaii only requires a Hawaiian company to handle Escrow. So, if the OP is giving her niece her Soleil timeshare for free, there would be no financial Escrow. That means that LT Transfer could probably handle the paperwork.

I started my response and then was distracted. When I posted it, I hadn't seen the response of @DeniseM . Oops.

BTW, the original post is over a year old.

The last time I used them, I recall that the cost was around $250. So, not a lot. But it depends on the resort you are transferring. I'd suggest calling them or emailing them.

They charge a fee for their work, plus additional fees required by the county where the new deed is filed as well as fees charged by the timeshare company. We paid about $270 all-in for DVC, but when my family had some Wyndham deeds gifted it cost more. So, as @BJRSanDiego says above, it’s best for you to call or email them to get the specifics for your timeshare.
