Change in owners is needed to add or remove a spouse as an owner, to make a trust the owner or to give away a timeshare.

To replace a current owner of a timeshare with a new owner two events must happen. The first event is to prepare a deed, sign the deed and record the deed. Recording the deed notifies the general public who is the owner of the timeshare. The second event is to provide a copy of the recorded deed to the timeshare company.

A deed is a paper document signed by the current owner that transfers ownership in real property to another person. The owner either "grants" or "quit claims" ownership. "Grant" has implied warranties of valid ownership and disclosure of loans and liens on the real property. "Quit claim" is the equivalent of "as is." A quit claim does not promise valid ownership and does not provide disclosure of loans or liens outstanding.

California, Hawaii and Nevada require the owner's signature on the deed acknowledged by a notary. Florida in addition to the acknowledgement, requires the owner's signature witnessed by two individuals. After the deed is prepared and the signature acknowledged the deed is recorded.
