When a person dies and at the time of his or her death owns a Timeshare, that interest is considered real property and is subject to Florida Probate Laws and Rules.

A probate action would need to be brought in the county where the Timeshare is located.  In order to pass the timeshare to the lawful heirs or beneficiaries, a probate action is required.

Common Questions

What is the difference between an heir and a beneficiary?

An heir is a person who is entitled to the property of the decedent (person who died), if the decedent died without a will.  A Beneficiary is a person who is given property in a will.

Does a Will prevent the need for Probate?

No, a Will does not eliminate the possible need for a Probate action.  A Will is used in a probate action to establish the intentions of the decedent.

They say my Dad died “intestate”. What does that mean?

When it is said that someone died “intestate” it means that they died without a Will and his or her property will pass to heirs pursuant to Florida Law.

If my Mom was not a resident of Florida, but owned property in Florida at the time of her death, will a probate action need to be opened in Florida?

Yes.  Probate actions that are opened to address property in Florida that is owned by an out of state resident are called Ancillary Administrations.  Probate proceedings must be handled in the County where the property is located.
