Changing Name on Deed

[EpcotQueen]

My husband passed away several years ago. I'd like to replace his name on the deed with my daughter. How does one go about doing tht? DVC would not do it. Said something about getting a lawyer. Anyone have experience with this?

Highly recommend. https://www.lttransfers.com/ They may not be the cheapest but the process was VERY easy and they handled all the communication with DVC. We did 4 contracts and it couldn’t have been easier. I know many others on the board have had a similar experience.

You have to have an offical change in the ownership which requires a new deed.

I agree with the other poster that LT Transfers is used by many and while it can be accomplished on your own, without a title company, we used one as we felt the cost was worth it to have them do it.

I have used LT Transfers as well as doing one myself when we added our daughter to our deeds. Because you are also removing your husband I would go with LT Transfers as that process might require a little more.

Just looked at their website. $275-$450 - Safe to say it is per contract? Plus $25.

Does DVC charge any fee in addition to this?

Yes, that's per contract. The $25 is probably for Orange County filing fees. DVC doesn't charge anything. We had two contracts, and we saved a few $ on mailing costs, I think. Remember to do all contracts at the same time - or else you'll end up with separate memberships due to the different owners on different contracts.

Somewhat related question, I have several contracts in the same membership. If I add my daughter to one or 2 of the deeds, does that make for a second membership with a different membership # and log in?

Yes, any contracts that have different owners will be in separate memberships. You’ll be able to access them via your same login but will have to click a dropdown list to select one membership or the other; your DD will have her own login and will be able to access only the membership that she’s a part of.

To add, it means you won’t be able to use the points together any longer without a transfer. And they are being strict to one in our out per UY.

Thank you - good to know. One of the "things to do" but thankfully not a priority.
