Re: joint mortgage
The other party will have to transfer their title to you in the fashion dictated by (1) the time share master agreement and (2) according to the jurisdiction (state) in which the time share is located. This may be as simple as the other party executing a deed to you. The financing folks would have to approve if there is a mortgage on it.
