Re: Deeded vs. Right to use? (by KC):

judithp37 has stated, quoated in pertinent part:

>>.... even with a deed your rights are questionable. We have a deed and found the hotel had rented out our timeshare without our knowledge or approval. When we tried to get information and namesd to talk to , we were told that information was privy, to whom??? As a member of the timeshare owners assoc,you would think we would have access to board info and identification, no way. So don't be surprised. Even a deed does not give you security << =======================================

With all due respect, that's nonsense. A properly prepared and lawfully recorded warranty deed with usage specific terms and conditions gives you *absolute and unquestionable* legal ownership and/or correction rights. Less protection with a quitclaim deed, but even a quitclaim deed is still legally strong if issued from and executed by a lawful grantor and properly recorded in appropriate county records. If you have a legally executed warranty deed, and what you have described is factually accurate, complete and correct (I'm wondering if all the facts are really presented here --- such as whether your "deed" was valid to begin with, ever properly recorded, whether maintenance fees were paid up and current at the time of your usage week, and/or whether your reservation (if a float week) was ever actually confirmed in the first place) --- then you should be talking to a lawyer (I'm NOT one, for the record), since this could be an illegal and actionable form of theft by the resort. Again though, I'm really wondering if you've really and accurately presented ALL of the relevant facts and information. It all sounds quite bizarre to me if you have a valid, recorded deed (....and a paid up account). Otherwise, the resort folks would have to be absolutely insance to have unlawfully done what you portray them as having done........
