How to Remove, Add or Change an Owner of Intervals, Vacation Plan, and Timeshares in Hawaii

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. - July 14, 2023 - PRLog -- Fractional real properties in Hawaii have several names: Hawaiian interval, Hawaiian vacation plan, and Hawaiian Timeshare.  The most common term is Hawaiian timeshare. This press release is provided by Deed and Record.

A deed recorded with the Bureau of Conveyances is needed to change, add, or remove an owner of a timeshare. Trusts, limited liability companies, and gifts require a change in owners. Divorce, marriage, or allowing or preventing access to a timeshare resort requires adding or removing a co-owner.

Trusts are created to avoid probate. To avoid probate, the trust must own the timeshare. The current owner signs a deed to transfer their ownership to their trust. On the owner's death, a second deed transfers ownership out of the trust to the beneficiary who is to receive the timeshare.

A person forms a limited liability company for tax purposes and liability protection. To work, the timeshare must change from the owner to a limited liability company by deed.

Deeds are used to gift timeshares. The current owner no longer uses the timeshare but continues paying annual maintenance fees. A win-win situation is to gift the timeshare to someone who will use the timeshare. The new owner has access and use to a timeshare in Hawaii. The prior owner is relieved of the obligation to pay maintenance fees.

In divorce, a deed removes one spouse as owner. Removing a spouse is important because as long as both ex-spouses remain owners, both have access to the timeshare and are liable for the maintenance fees.

Deeds also add a spouse, friend, or relative as a co-owner. Adding a new co-owner gives the new owner access to the timeshare. Adding new owners as joint tenants avoid probate on the death of a joint tenant owner.

A deed recorded with the Bureau of Conveyances is needed to change, add, or remove an owner of a timeshare. Trusts, limited liabilities companies, and gifts require a change in owners. Divorce, marriage, or allowing or preventing access to a timeshare resort requires adding or removing a co-owner. The recorded deed is forwarded to the timeshare company to update their records of owners.
