Timeshare Ownership and Power of Attorney

How to Manage a Timeshare for an owner for whom you have Power of Attorney: Advice from Sarah Waddington Solicitors

Do you have Power of Attorney for someone who owns a timeshare? If so, you may be in a tough spot because you need to decide what to do with the property based on good information. It’s important to understand the complicated rules of timeshare ownership whether you want to keep it, give it to someone else, or get out of the deal altogether. Luckily, Sarah Waddington Solicitors is here to help with skilled and useful advice.

Learning About Owning A Timeshare

Owning a timeshare can be hard because there are many types of contracts and duties that might not be clear at first. If you have Power of Attorney, you need to fully understand the timeshare deal so that you can make the best choices for the owner.

Know this:

Types of Ownership: Timeshares can be deeded, which means the owner has a share of a property, or non-deeded, which means the owner just has the right to use the property. When it comes to transferability and ending, each type is different.

Long-Term Charges: Timeshares usually have costs that you have to pay over and over again, like membership dues, maintenance fees, and special charges. These costs might keep going up and end up being too much to pay for some people.

⁠Legal Consequences: The laws that govern timeshares are different in different places and rely on the terms of the contract. To make smart choices, you need to understand these legal issues.

What You Can Do: Keep or Cancel?
If you have Power of Attorney, you might have to choose whether to keep the property or get rid of the ownership. There are some things to think about with each choice:

If you decide to keep the timeshare, you should: * Evaluate the benefits* If the property is in a nice area and is used often, it might be worth keeping. Think about how much money the person you’re representing has and whether the ongoing costs can be handled.

Grant or Transfer: If you want to keep the timeshare in the family, you may need to think about how the beneficiaries will get it or how it will be moved. To make sure the move goes smoothly, you need to talk to a lawyer.

Cancelling the Timeshare: Read the Contract: Read the timeshare agreement to see if there are any cancellation terms, ways to get out of the deal, or “cooling-off” periods. In certain situations, some contracts may let you get out of them.

Talk about giving up: Sometimes, the resort might be ready to take back the timeshare, especially if there aren’t any debts left. When an owner negotiates a withdrawal, they may not have to pay anything in the future.

Always Ask for Legal Help
If the rules of the contract are too strict, it might be hard to get out of the timeshare. This is when getting help from a lawyer becomes very important.
