I just recently purchased a timeshare in Whistler at Shell Mountainside VAcation club. It is one week fixed week #5. Both the seller and myself live in CAnada. The seller has lost the original title certificate and she contacted the owner services at mountainside lodge and was directed to another place and was then told she had to secure a new original document and the cost would be $360!. She has the photocopy of the title certificate but not the original. Surely she and her husband can simply make a declaration or swear an affidavit that they are the owners and submit the transfer info on the photocopied certificate and submit that rather than spending $360 for a new original. HAs anyone experienced a lost original certificate before and were they able to use a copy or provide a sworn document confirming that they are the owners. I am pretty new at this timesharing and thought it would be a lot easier than what I am experiencing. Thank you.
