• executing by the processor a payment module stored in the program, the payment module being executable to display a payment screen on the screen of the computing device, where the payment screen displays information about an estoppel and account verification fee of the timeshare property and further displays an option to execute a payment, wherein upon a selection to execute a payment the first server communicates payment information received from the payment screen to a second server associated with handling payments;
• communicating the at least one address associated with each party from the first server to a third server associated with a postal service to verify that the at least one address associated with each party corresponds to a valid address according to postal service records;
• discontinuing the execution of the method until the third server verifies the validity of the at least one address associated with each party;
• storing input data from each of the modules in the database;
• receiving an instruction to produce a first package of title transfer documents for transferring a timeshare property based on the stored input data;
• determining which of the plurality of templates is necessary to produce the first package of title transfer documents;
• locating each document template from the database required to produce the package of title transfer documents, where each document template includes at least one identifier;
• upon receiving each document template from the database, linking the input data with the at least one identifier in each document template to complete the document template with the input data;
• producing the package of estoppel and account verification documents required for a resort management company to recognize the transfer of ownership of the timeshare property;
• executing an estoppel module by ordering an estoppel for securely transferring the timeshare property;
• communicating with the resort management company of the timeshare property to verify account information related to the property;
• and
• upon verifying accuracy of account information, completing the estoppel or account verification history of the timeshare property.
