billh54 You indicate you own a timeshare at Marriott Dry Tortuga and want to dump it via a "Quit Claim" deed. To record a quitclaim deed in the deed records without the grantee's consent would be a criminal act. That is, the deed to have any validity most have the grantee's name inserted in the deed and to pick a name at random without their consent is fraud! The purpose of a quitclaim deed is to "pass any title, interest, or claim which the grantor may have in the premises" (Black's Law Dictionary) and is typically used to clear up the title to property. The most common use would be to deed the property back to the resort (HOA) in lieu of a foreclosure. To convey title to anyone without their consent would be a fraudulent (criminal) act. I suggest you contact Marriott and explain your financial situation and hopefully get them to consent in writing to you transferring the property back to the resort. You might offer consideration to do so. But, you should be aware, very aware, that to convey a title to anyone via a quitclaim deed without their knowledge and consent is fraud.
