Additional Ownership Question

Maverick1963 · May 16, 2015

This is not my personal situation, but, dear Tuggers, I would appreciate it very much if you could share your knowledge.

Let's say I have an odd year interval at a HGVC resort with my wife as a joint owner. If I buy an additional even year time share at the same resort and put my wife and our children as owners for this one.

I know that all points of the two intervals can be put into one membership account. But will our children be able to use a stay beyond points of their even year ownership without guest certificate?

If they aren't deeded the same way, I think you may have two separate accounts and two membership fees and no combining of points. I don't think it is like Wyndham where deeding it with additional members on one or more contracts allows those additional members to have privileges onto all of the points.

I could be wrong but unlike Wyndham, I have never heard of the different deeding (on anything less than all of the contracts) as a work around for guest certs.

Thank you, tschwa2.

HGVC allows owners to combine vacation ownerships and charges one membership. That's for sure. But you mean a different set of owners (even partially the same owners) will require two accounts.

Yes, that is what I am saying. Most TS companies (and I am not sure about Hilton-my experience is Marriott and Starwood) require all contract/deeds to be deeded the same in order to be in the same account. So if husband only owns one week and husband and wife own another and husband, wife and kids own another there would need to be three accounts that could not be merged until/unless all the deeds were changed to be recorded with the same owners on all of the deeds.

AFAIK, HGVC will not treat the accounts as "identical."
But B4 you take our armchair QB opinions, call and ask if it can be done.

You could re-deed the 1st to match the names on the 2nd, after notice to HGVC that it's not a sale.

With HGVC deeds must be the same to combine one account. I have them give me a new membership number and another club dues because title company left out part of my wifes last name. Hgvc would not add that contract onto our other contracts until it was legally changed to reflect the same name.

Maverick1963 · May 17, 2015

Thank you so much. Completely understood. Very good learning for me.

I believe your children must also be of legal age, and as everything with Hilton follows Florida law, that would be legal age in Florida.

Maverick1963 · May 19, 2015

Thank you, jestme.

I thought the legal age would be subject to the state law of your deed. But it's not. And it's 18 in any state.

HGVC allows owners to combine vacation ownerships and charges only one annual membership fee. That's for sure. But you mean a different set of owners (even partially the same owners) will require two accounts.

This statement is not accurate: I have 2 sets of owners and pay 1 annual fee and always have. I have a week that is deeded to myself and my friend from 2000. Then my wife and I bought another week a few years ago and that's deeded to myself and my wife. The names of my friend and my wife are nowhere close to similar. The way we made this happen is my wife and I made sure at the purchase of our week that they wrote my existing HGVC member number on the contract and all the paperwork. They did and HGVC combined all my points and only only charges 1 annual fee.

Did you purchase the second week from Hilton? I guess I can see them doing that in order to get the sale. I don't see them willing to do it for a resale contract. Wyndham does so maybe I'm wrong about Hilton.

Has your experience been that everyone can use all of the points without using a guest certificate or is your wife limited to only reservations using home resort or points from the contract she is on?

Confirmed with Call Center Service

Somehow I ran into the same question again. This time, I read the club rules and contacted Call Center. As long as there is a common thread of ownership among intervals, you can have them in a single account. What is a "common thread"? It means you need to have at least one name in common for all the intervals you have. So for one week, you are the only owner. For a second, you and your spouse have the ownership. These two weeks can be put into a single account because you are a owner for both of the intervals. Ownership is judged according to the deed record. And joined account is good only for HGVC-developed resorts.
