Trejesto Title Transfers make transfer of ownership easy from beginning to end. If you are looking for a "closing only" service on a property that is not being donated, we can provide that service for you. We work directly with the resort where your timeshare is located, and do the transfer process noted below for a one-time charge ranging from $355 to $475, (some states have increased fees) plus the transfer fee that the resort charges (if any). 

Our Transfer process is as follows:

* The above stated fees can be honored in most areas of the United States. If your property is located outside of the U.S., in New York City, or if other issues arise incurring unexpected expense, then additional costs may apply to the closing. We do not provide closing services on land managed by the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

The transfer process normally takes 45 to 60 days, but can take longer.  It depends on how quickly the parties execute and return the documents to our office, and on the work load and procedure of the county where the deed is being recorded and returned. We will process your transfer as quick as possible.

Title Insurance for Timeshares: Title Insurance is an insurance policy issued by a title company. A title search is conducted which will reveal any liens on the property. The policy will insure against any liens that were not found in the search. While title insurance is the most secure way of purchasing real estate, very few resale timeshare buyers purchase title insurance, due to the low cost associated with the resale market. 

The cost of the timeshare versus the cost of title insurance is given weighted consideration by many resale buyers. Although the decision to acquire title insurance is solely the buyer's decision, Trejesto Title Transfers will obtain a signed Estopple Request from the resort. This certificate will confirm that the timeshare is free of any mortgage or encumbrances and that maintenance fees and property taxes are current.

Title Insurance is not covered by our fees. However, if you are interested in Title Insurance, we can refer you to a list of providers.

General Information:

How are Timeshares Transferred?

The Legal Document used to convey real property from one owner (the grantor)  to another (the grantee) is a deed. There are several kinds of deed. The most common are the Quitclaim Deed & the Warranty Deed.

Quitclaim Deed: A deed that conveys whatever interest, if any, is held by the grantor and does not provide the grantee with any guarantees.

Warranty Deed: A deed that provides a guarantee from the seller that he has good, clear and marketable title to the property and is conveying the property free of all judgments, tax liens or assessment liens.

Grantor & Grantee: The party who gives an ownership interest in property in the Grantor. The party who receives an ownership interest in property is the Grantee.

How can I take Title?

There are several ways to take title. You will find below the types and their definitions:

Tenancy by the Entirety: A form of joint tenancy created between husband and wife by which together they hold title to the whole with right of survivorship. Upon death of either party, the other takes sole possession, thus excluding heirs of the deceased. 

Joint Tenancy: Ownership by two or more people who own an undivided interest with the right of survivorship. Four unities are required to create a joint tenancy:  time, title, interest and possession 

Sole and Separate Property: No other party has any interest with this type of ownership. If you are married and wish to take title this way, you should record a quitclaim deed from your spouse to yourself so that no community interest could be claimed at a later date (in community property states). 

Tenancy-in-Common: A form of holding title in which two or more parties have an undivided interest in the property. They can hold unequal shares in the property, and there is no right of survivorship. 

Community Property: Property acquired by a husband and wife after marriage. Property acquired prior to the marriage or obtained by gift or inheritance while they are married is owned separately. Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin are community property states.

Trust: If you would like to deed your timeshare to a trust, simply provide us with the date of origination and the pertinent information regarding the trust. This is usually stated on the first few pages of your trust papers, so you don't have to send us the entire document.
