I am wondering if anyone has any expierence using www.turboclose.com I am purchasing some Wyn points deeded in Florida w/ someone I very much trust. It claims all the forms are available (it is do it yourself). I think Florida is a state though that requires attorney reveiw. Anyone know if that is necassary or even just have used this before? thanks jim

I'm not familiar with buying resale points, however with buying a deeded timeshare, and if you absolutely trust the person you're buying from then you can do the closing yourself if you do some research on the internet. Many people use a 'quit claim' deed on deeded timeshare weeks but I don't know how a 'quit claim' would work with points .... I would assume the same procedure.

As far as I know, Florida does not requires attorney involvement in closings as there are several closing companies based in Florida with no attorney involved. I do know that South Carolina requires an attorney for closing timeshares and other states may also, but I'm almost sure that Florida does not.

There's a reputable closing company in Florida called www.timesharetransfer.com that you may ask your question(s) in an email and get the legal answers as far as doing the points closing and transfer yourself.

Thankyou. However my confusion is caused by a statement I read on www.transfermytimeshare.com I think it is also on Redweek in a posting by you in a posting regarding First American title. the statement is "Important notice: please be aware that in certain states, an attorney must be involved in the transfer of timeshare property. Transfer My Timeshare can make all necessary arrangements, but any and all necessary attorney fees must be charged in addition to normal timeshare closing costs. Getting an attorney to participate can also prolong the sale closing process. Attorney participation is mandatory in the following states: Florida, Georgia, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Oregon, South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Washington (State), District of Columbia (Washington DC), and Ohio.

I guess i am wondering if say you buy a timeshare resale document kit or use turbo close if they need to be reviewed by an attorney still or if they were originally written as such if you can just fill them out and send them for transfer. I have heard several people say they just filled out paperwork sent out transfer tax, document fees, and transfer fees and changed ownership in Florida. maybe you are correct and the statement is outdated or plain wrong above, but all the companies I know in Florida including timesharetranfer.com claim to be attorney reviewed. I am going to call turboclose today to see what they tell me but was hoping someone had used this before. I will still call tstranfers as you suggested and turbo close but I think that the attorney thing may apply in Florida. I am hoping someone can tell me what that implication implies. thanks for you reply. I know you know your stuff so assuming it does need to be reviewed by an attorney, does that mean I can't prepare the deed by adding the names to ones purchased by turbo close or timesharingtoday.com, or does it mean that I must use a copy of the original and change names, or either way I must have my work reviewed by a attorney. I am very confused but am hoping someone can help. Jim
