Buying a Hilton timeshare and need to combine into one

SandPine · #1 (**permalink**) April 11th, 2009, 02:52 AM

I am a current owner with Hilton. I am about to buy another deed from a family owner who needs to get out of it. I was told by HIlton that if I buy resale that I will not be able to qualify for the perks they offer. HHPoints, IRC etc... However, that if I ask current owner to add me to his warranty deed first, then call them to combine both properties into one for me, then doing another deed change to remove the previous owner.

Does this process make sense? They tell me is only about $100 fee each time we change the deed and it would be something they would do. Is this true?

What is the normal process to transfer ownership when I buy a resale property?

not sure about the legal question, but as far as the bonuses(hhonors, etc) they amount to very little. saving the big bux with a resale timeshare buy is far, far better than these things!

I checked with our legal assistant in the closing department and the plan to have the current owner add you to the deed would work the way you've described in order to maintain the HGVC extras/perks. As for combining the deeds, I think that would only work if both properties to be combined were deeded at the same resort/area.

Will post more info as I discover it~
