[Q=georged307] What is the normal process for transferring or adding adult children to a Wyndham timeshare? All points are fully paid.[/Q] Not enough / clear enough information. Is your "product" a "pure points" (CWA) contract (with no deed)?, Fixed weeks (with deed)? "Converted" fixed weeks (with a deed, but with points also attached)? The presence or absence of a deed in your particular ownership dictates the correct answer and procedure. If there is a deed with your current ownership, a new deed would have to be prepared adding the new "grantees" and duly recorded --- with Wyndham being so informed (by copy of new deed) upon completion and recording. I don't know if Wyndham would charge you their customary (and larcenous) $299 transfer fee if the changes only involve adding family members, but that's something to personally confirm / verify directly with Wyndham. That aside, I hope that you are ONLY considering adding ADULT children names and that you are doing so ONLY with their advance full knowledge and overtly expressed consent. You surely DO NOT want to unilaterally impart (potentially unwelcome) legal and financial obligations upon your offspring unless they know all about it in advance, fully understand and openly agree. It certainly would not be a pleasant or welcome surprise for them to learn later (for the first time, only after your demise) that they have legal, contractual financial obligations they never voluntarily chose, never even knew about and quite possibly never wanted. Just be sure to consider and examine the WHOLE picture here before initiating any such actions independently. Timeshare ownership is frankly much more of a liability than an asset from a financial and / or legal perspective. Keep in mind that an unexpected and unwanted "inheritance" of timeshares can simply be "disclaimed" --- but NOT by anyone whose names are already on the deeds as co-owners. Food for thought before (unwisely) initiating any such deed changes.
