Sam
Here are some details about changing deeds, this was posted on the DIS earlier this year and appears to be an email response from member services.
Dear Disney Vacation Club Member:
In response to your inquiry about changing the Disney Vacation Club Membership records, following is information regarding the process to transfer an Ownership Interest in a Disney Vacation Club Resort.
TRANSFER:
A request to add another person to or remove a person from the Disney Vacation Club Membership records is considered a transfer of title to the Ownership Interest. All of the below listed guidelines, including the notice requirement and the requirement that the mortgage loan to Disney Vacation Development, Inc. (DVD) be paid in full, apply to the following typical examples of a transfer:
You and your spouse are on the Membership together and you want to remove yourself or your spouse/ former spouse;
You are on the Membership by yourself and you want to add your spouse;
You want to remove yourself and transfer your Ownership Interest to another person;
You want to add your children that are of legal age;
You want to add or remove children, relatives, in-laws, or any other living person. (If there has been a death of a Member, please contact Membership Administration.)
You are directed by a judge under a court order for divorce to remove or add yourself or your former spouse;
You want to transfer your Ownership Interest into or out of a trust, partnership or corporation.
Written Notice to Disney Vacation Development, Inc.
Right of First Refusal
Before you may transfer your Ownership Interest, you are required to offer it to DVD upon the same terms and conditions, including financing, as those offered to another person or entity. Accordingly, no later than thirty (30) days prior to the proposed closing date of the transfer of your Ownership Interest, you must provide DVD with written notice of your intent to transfer. Written notice should be in the form of a signed letter detailing the full terms and conditions of the transfer signed by all parties. A sample notice is on page 2 of this letter. DVD's right of first refusal shall apply to any and all subsequent transfers or the sale of the Ownership Interest. DVD will either issue a signed Waiver Agreement or notify you that DVD is exercising its Right of First Refusal within the thirty (30) day notice period.
Mortgage Loan
If DVD made a loan to you for a portion of the purchase price of your Ownership Interest, then that loan is secured by a mortgage on your Ownership Interest. A transfer of all or any part of your Ownership Interest prior to repayment of your loan gives DVD the right to declare the unpaid amount of the loan due and payable immediately. Accordingly, you will need to repay your loan prior to or at the same time there is a transfer of all or part of the Ownership Interest. Any information or questions about your loan with DVD should be addressed to Member Accounting at 407-566-3800, Option 1, or by fax 407-566-3284.
Transfer Documents
Your Ownership Interest is an undivided interest in the real property described
in your recorded Deed. The Owner(s) of the real property will need to make their own arrangements at their expense for the appropriate transfer document (DEED) to be prepared, signed, witnessed by two (2) witnesses, and acknowledged before a Notary Public and then recorded in the county where the Disney Vacation Club Resort in which you have an Ownership Interest is located.
You are urged to consult with your attorney, accountant, title insurance company, or other professional advisors concerning this matter. Laws regarding the ownership and transfer of real estate vary widely from state to state. To ensure that the transfer of your Ownership Interest is performed correctly and in accordance with Florida law (or South Carolina law, if your Ownership Interest is in Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort), we strongly suggest that you consult with an experienced real estate lawyer licensed to practice law and in good standing in the State of Florida or if applicable, the State of South Carolina. Both the Florida Bar and South Carolina Bar maintain a lawyer referral service which you can access by calling 1-800-342-8011 (or
http://www.flabar.org/) for the Florida Bar lawyer referral service or 1-800-868-2284 (or
http://www.scbar.org/) for the South Carolina Bar lawyer referral service.

Reservations
A transfer may cause any reservations that utilize Vacation Points associated with your Ownership Interest to be cancelled if a new contract must be created and a new Member number issued. If the transferor is being removed as an Owner/Member, they will not have access as a Member to the Disney Vacation Club reservation system after the transfer of their Ownership Interest. Any information or questions regarding your Vacation Points activity should be addressed to Member Services, 407-566-3800, Option 3, or by fax 407-566-3939, or by e-mail to
