Is it possible to will a timeshare to someone without them knowing it?

You don't have to tell them ahead of time. But they will know when the will is probated. They may even have an opportunity to say "no thanks..."

I love it! Wouldn't that be a great form of revenge. :twist
Along the lines of buying a velvet Elvis for a true art lover!

I am disappointed to hear that they could turn it down.

They sure can refuse the "gift" of a timeshare.

Having hassled with a few probates, I can picture the problem a turned-down timeshare would generate.

The Estate would have to make good with the resort, an attorney would have to occupy themself with it at $200 an hour, and they would bill it as an extraordinary fee.

This discussion raises a good question though, and that is what does happen to timeshares when the decedent has no beneficiaries, or dies intestate?

I was thinking of willing my time share back to Stephen Cloobeck.

Sorry I am generally a Marriott/Starwoodie/Indie kind of TS guy. Me don't know from Stephen Cloobeck.

I get the sense he is sort like that wastegate kind of guy. Distant relative of Robert Moses...

Kind of guys you love to hate!

Depends on the state the death happened in. In Florida, your beneficiary extends to parents, siblings, aunts/uncles, nieces and nephews etc. Somewhere someone is going to get it. If you truly have none of the above, it would then go to the state along with all your money if you had any etc.

Like I said . . . a mess, likely creating extraordinary fees.
