"Membership clubs" are a different breed of cat... (by KC):

I have membership to a club that is points based and it's in Australia.

Many "membership clubs" or "vacation clubs" (regardless of country / location) actually have THEIR OWN (i.e., mandatory to use) internal paperwork and procedures for contract sales and transfers. There are no "recorded deeds" involved in such clubs (since there is no actual "ownership" to "deed" in the first place; it's merely a time-defined "right to use" contract). Accordingly, my prior info, details and reference to using a closing company will likely NOT apply to your (or any other) "membership club" or "vacation club" situation.

One good thing about "vacation clubs" / "membership clubs" is that, unlike deeded ownerships, there is a fixed and specific ending date to the "club" RTU contract. Deeded ownerships are forever (...or until sale or foreclosure occurs instead) but RTU contracts, by definition, basically always have a very specifically identified END date.

In any case, good luck with whatver you choose to do...
