Ok, he did send me a letter stating that he will be taking over the timeshare and he did send me 20 dollars in cash, which is also in the letter, and the 20 dollars is on the quit claim deed. That letter is signed by him. What is a substitute quit claim deed? And the quit claim deed that i signed did not require his signature is that ok? Can i still record the quit claim deed myself. I have a duplicate. But like i said it has his info but no signature.

The signed letter setting out the agreement and signed by him will eliminate any claim he might make that your filing of the quit claim deed is fraudulent. It would be helpful had the $20 been in the form of a check to validate the consideration. A duplicate quit claim deed is identical to the original deed and in fact it is not necessary that it be identified as a duplicate since he has not recorded the original. Either the buyer or seller can record the deed although it is typically done by a third party closing company. The buyer does not sign the quit claim deed. Only the seller(s). Again, as stated above, you shoud alert him by certified mail that you are filing a duplicate deed if the original is not filing within a set time period.

These comments are not intended to be legal advice and you should confirm my suggestion with your own attorney. But, your cause is not hopeless since you have the signed agreement in writing and there was consideration in the form of $20. Good luck!
