Timeshare Owners Take Note:
Colorado Beneficiary Deeds are Superior to Trust Transfers

The traditional method to avoid Colorado probate for Colorado real estate is to transfer the Colorado timeshare to the owner's trust or corporation. The better solution is a Colorado Beneficiary Deed.

The Trouble With Trusts for Timeshares

Many Colorado timeshare owners do not understand that a transfer to a trust or corporation can trigger significant documentation requirements by the Colorado timeshare association. For example, the Association should require a copy of the trust, complete disclosure of trustees incuding address and telephone number and a RECORDED statement of authority. Many of these transfers to trusts and corporations result in unmarketable title.

Colorado Beneficiary Deed is Hassle Free

The solution to the stringent documentation requirements is a Colorado Beneficiary Deed. A Colorado Beneficiary Deed does not change any ownership until the death of the current owner. At that time, the Colorado timeshare passes directly to the new owner. All that is required is a recorded death certificate and a supplemental affidavit.
