Westin Flex Owner - Hie do I Remove Ex-Wife from Deed

[Justin47]

Hoping to find some information on removing my ex wife from the ownership deed/title. It is in the divorce decree that I retain the timeshare. Does anyone have a good contact/lawyer to help with is and an estimated cost to get this done?

As part of your dissolution proceeding, she should be required to properly execute a deed (in compliance with the laws of the jurisdiction where the real property is located) conveying the ownership to you. Depending upon how title was originally taken, it may be that the new deed will be actually signed by both of you and written To convey ownership to you individually. Don’t do just a quitclaim, because that impacts the title insurance you originally purchased.

An an example, if the deed was originally Justin and Xxxx, husband and wife as joint tenants, then the deed to convey to you solely will be signed by you and Xxxx individually, and say Justin and Xxxx convey to Justin as his sole and separate property. (If you’re doing this while you’re still legally married and waiting for the divorce to be final.) If the divorce is already final, then the deed will convey to Justin, a single man.

BTW - if the timeshare property is basically anywhere in the USA except SC, use LT Transfers. If it’s MVC Trust Points or a FlexOptions product, its easier to use First American Title.

Just so you understand, you cannot remove her name without her participation in properly signing the required document.

Thank you for the info! It is a Westin Flex timeshare and we are divorced now. She is pushing to get her name off so it shouldn’t be an issue to get the documentation needed. I will reach out to American Title.

Once the deed is recorded, you’ll need to pay a fee to MVC to update the internal records. Just make sure that when you submit the paperwork, your reservation for 2025 is in place, or the timing may cause some delays while it’s being updated.

You don't need a lawyer since she is eager to get off the title. Just follow #2 above.

Is there still an outstanding loan? If there is, your ex will still be on the hook for the original note.

It’s paid in full, she just wants to be off the hook for the exorbitant maintenance fees if I die I think

First American Title will prepare the appropriate documentation and then it will be up to you and your ex to get the correct notary completed on the documents. Then you’ll return to First American and they will do the recording. First American will provide directions for you. Start with the First American website.
