South Carolina Lawyer Recommendation For Closing

[LHM]

I was told since my Wyndham timeshare deed is in SC, I must have a lawyer licensed to practice in SC to handle my closing. Does anyone have any experience with selling their timeshare from out of state that can recommend a SC lawyer they have used for closing. Thanks.

Told by whom?

Told by whom?

The administrator for the Real Estate Commission, although the Register of Deeds didn't think this to be the case. I figured I needed someone who knew what they were doing anyway. Do you have a SC lawyer familiar with timeshare sales you could recommend that could handle the closing with me being remote and not in SC?

They are real nice folks, used by many TUG Members. I believe they have an attorney that handles their SC closings.

Thanks, I'll check them out to see if they have a SC attorney.

I both bought and sold Weeks in South Carolina and handled everything myself without any problems. It was actually pretty easy. My guess is there is an exception for those who do it themselves.

Were you selling a deed? I would think all I would have to do is follow the instructions and forms of the Register of Deeds in Horry County unless there actually is a SC law that says you must use an attorney to sell real estate in SC.

I believe you have to have an attorney sign off on the deed (if you aren't preparing your own deed for your own property) but they don't have to be the ones to actually do the preparing. Even if you paid a SC lawyer in all likelihood it would be prepared by a paralegal in the office and signed off by the attorney. LT works with a SC attorney and their preparation meets the legal requirement in SC.

Really? That's confusing. LT responded back to my question that they are not a law firm, only a document preparation company. And they gave me a link to a company that has a SC attorney on their staff (closemytimeshare.com which was kind of costly). I don't know why they wouldn't have just told me they could handle a SC deed closing.

Hello,

When I sold a Hilton Head DVC timeshare, I had to use a SC law firm. Wilson Law Firm (http://wilsonlawsc.com/) was recommended to me and that's who I used. Everything went smoothly (though it took some time).

Cheers!

Thanks so much. I'll check them out! Do you remember how much they charge to close for you?

Perhaps it was miscommunication and they thought you were asking if they had an actual attorney on their staff. They do not but they do handle SC closings in which case they simply have the attorney authorize the SC stack of closings. It’s really just a technicality and finding an attorney to sign off for a closing service is pretty easy. New Orleans requires the same thing but it is slightly more than just a sign off.

I've used wilsonlawsc.com exclusively for years too. Best service and best prices for South Carolina timeshare closings.

Unless you are a party to the transaction, the preparation of the deed in many states, South Carolina is one of them, needs to be prepared by a South Carolina attorney. To the person that said a SC attorney wont prepare them, his/her paralegal does, while correct, said paralegal is under the direct supervision of the attorney. As long as the attorney puts his name on the deed, then it is a moot point who manually typed the information. In a law firm, the paralegals do much of the work.

So are you saying that LT transfers cannot handle a SC timeshare closing??? They state they can.... I have one at Broadway Plantation that I was going to use them for, but if that is an issue I would like to know sooner rather than later...
