Q: Can I put in my sole name a timeshare that is deeded jointly between me and my father, who passed away?
I have been paying taxes and maintenance fees for the last 14 years. He passed overseas and the timeshare was not included in the estate, so the inheritors just granted me the timeshare verbally. Can this issue be resolved. Thank you.
A: This should not be a problem. If you contact the timeshare's member services department, they will be able to get you the paperwork you'll need to update their records. Depending on how it was deeded, you may not even need to complete any paperwork. You may want an attorney to review your paperwork.
