You’ll receive:
Comprehensive Ownership Verification – We confirm the legal owner(s) of record for the timeshare property.
Lien & Encumbrance Check – We search for any unpaid mortgages, taxes, or legal claims that could impact the transfer.
Document Review – Our team reviews all relevant documents to ensure proper chain of title and legal compliance.
Transfer Readiness Confirmation – You’ll receive a summary confirming the title’s status and any issues requiring resolution before closing.
Optional Escrow Coordination – If combined with a closing service, our escrow team manages all payments once the title is cleared.
Why a Title Search Matters?
A title search is one of the most important steps in any timeshare transfer. It ensures that:
You’re buying or receiving ownership from the true, legal owner.
No hidden liens, loans, or tax obligations exist on the property.
The timeshare can be transferred and recorded without legal complications.
Skipping a title search can result in invalid transfers, financial liability, or delayed closings. Resort Closings eliminates those risks by verifying every detail before your deed is finalized.
Whether you’re purchasing a timeshare, accepting a gift, or selling your ownership, our title search gives you the peace of mind that your transaction is clean and compliant.
Our Proven Title Search Process
Once you start your title search request, our experienced title specialists will:
- Access and review official county and resort ownership records.
- Confirm that all prior deeds and transfers were recorded properly.
- Check for outstanding liens, judgments, or unpaid balances.
- Compile a detailed report outlining the title’s condition and any corrective actions needed.
- Coordinate with our escrow team (if applicable) to proceed with a secure closing once the title is verified.
This comprehensive review helps ensure your transfer proceeds smoothly, legally, and without risk.
