Re: Buying first time share need help with how to take title (by Travis D.):

1) I could ask my parents to transfer title of the Maui week to me. Can they actually leave legal ownership in the trust and just change the owner of record with Marriott for reservation purposes.

- This is a very simple process and will not require a refiling of deeds at the bureau of conveyances.

2) I guess I could put the Kauai week I am about to buy into the family trust. Will Marriott be able to distinguish between my week (bought in the secondary market) and my parents' weeks which were purchased directly through Marriott.

- Marriott does not penalize a person from buying on the secondary market. Their internal records will allow for the distinction you are looking for.
