How do you select a Timeshare Closing Service

I have used LT Transfers several times. They are very reasonable and provide good customer service.

The one that wss/is located in Orlando is one I had problems with. I suggest anyone transferring a timeshare keep an eye on what happening with that transfer.

Very often your HOA can suggest an attorney local to the area where the timeshare is located.

In many states, it is a criminal offense for someone to charge money for drafting a deed if they are not a licensed attorney in that state. From the perspective of timeshare owners, it is also important that what is required for a deed to be valid can vary from state to state, and using someone from another state to draft a deed may mean you end up with a deed that does not pass title, even if it gets recorded. As an HOA board member, I remember one incident where one of our owners from Tennessee got a friend who was an attorney there to draft a deed for a week at our resort on NC's OBX. The deed failed to include the seal that is necessary for a valid deed in NC (apparently TN does not have a similar requirement) and was therefore void even though it had been recorded. Some of these timeshare transfer services run by non-attorneys are even more likely to make such screwups.
