Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Virginia

Your question raises a common problem.

The law can tell you the correct way to do something or the correct document you need.

But the law does not force a private company to accept the document.

So the problem is what will the time share company accept?

I believe there is some confusion of terms, however.

I believe that a Deed of Distribution (from the Executor) is the correct approach.

A quit claim deed is really not different.

A quit claim deed refers to the CONTENTS of the deed, not the category or type of deed.

The choices are typically -- a warranty deed or a quit claim deed.

A warranty deed gives various promises and guarantees, such as that the Grantor has good title and owns the property.

A quit claim deed makes no promises. The Grantor merely gives whatever rights he has: Basically I make no promises, but whatever rights I have I deed over to you.

So an Executor's Deed could be either written (in terms of contents) as a warranty deed or a quit claim deed.

So I think what you should be looking at is a Deed of Distribution from the Executor of the estate in probate of your mother, and if the time share company will accept it the contents of the deed could be a quit claim deed -- making no promises as to the ownership but simply giving you whatever rights the Executor has.
