Re: Re: Re: Re: Manhattan Club Lawsuit (by Dks):

Hi Paige, I want you to know that I responded and provided the same info as Irene. For some reason my post didn't submit even though I did hit submit. This is the 2nd or third time this has happened to me. I'm grateful to Irene because I just couldn't type all that over again. To answer your question I lived in MA, Mom lived in VA and the time share was in NYC. I was told I had to file an ancillary probate. I got told lots of things that cost me a lot of money. If you are offered a buyback by TMC, ask them about the ancillary probate because that will come into play when they do the buy back paperwork. Don't do what I did and have the timeshare put in your name. I came to the conclusion that it depends on the State you live in, whether you have to file an ancillary probate. Listen to Irene and get a very good real estate attorney, in your State, to help you with this. I wish you much luck! I went through this in 2013 and it was a very costly nightmare. I hope yours will go more smoothly and will be less costly. Just as an aside, as part of the ancillary probate I had to hire a company to value 2 timeshares. They valued them at 20 and 30 thousand respectively. We all knew at the time they were worth nothing. I was allowed to write them off on my taxes as a loss.
