Understanding DVC Resale for Surviving Spouse
If you are a surviving spouse and need to sell a Disney Vacation Club contract, the process is often simpler than many expect. At DVC Sales, our experienced team understands this sensitive time and is dedicated to helping you navigate DVC resale with compassion and expertise.
How to List Your DVC Contract as a Surviving Spouse
Selling your Disney Vacation Club membership as a surviving spouse is straightforward in most cases. Here’s how to start:
- Upload your most recent point statement and a copy of the deed.
- Your listing can go live on DVC Sales right away, just like any standard DVC resale contract.
This process allows potential buyers to view your listing, and you maintain full control over pricing and offers. For extra peace of mind, you can review the Disney Vacation Club checklist for a detailed step-by-step overview.
What Documents Will You Need?
In the majority of DVC joint tenancy situations, common among married couples, the title company will only require a copy of the death certificate. This legal structure, known as joint tenancy with rights of survivorship, automatically grants the surviving spouse the authority to sell the DVC membership without additional court or legal steps.
If the deed is held differently, such as tenants in common or with other owners, the title company might request additional documentation, such as:
- Probate paperwork
- A small estate affidavit
- Signatures from heirs
While these situations are less common, the process remains manageable. Your title company and the DVC Sales team will clarify every requirement and provide clear guidance throughout.
Streamlining the DVC Resale Process for Widows and Widowers
To help streamline your experience, visit the General Questions section of your DVC Sales profile and indicate your status as a widow or widower. You can upload the death certificate directly there, allowing our team to prepare your file and coordinate efficiently with the title company.
If you are unsure how your DVC deed is titled, our experts can review it for you in advance. We’ll answer any questions and ensure that your DVC resale contract is set up for a seamless closing.
