This section says a timeshare plan ends when its term ends or earlier in specified situations, and it sets rules for how the association may dispose of property, notify owners, and distribute proceeds.
§1131.8. Termination A. Except as otherwise provided, a timeshare plan shall terminate at the end of the term of the timeshare plan as set forth in the timeshare declaration, or prior to the end of the term: (1) As provided in the timeshare documents. (2) Upon entry of a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction brought by an owner or the association declaring that the useful life of the timeshare property1 has ended. B. Termination of the timeshare plan shall not terminate the association, which shall continue for so long as is necessary to implement the provisions of the timeshare documents. C. Unless the timeshare documents expressly provide to the contrary, upon termination of the timeshare plan, the association may sell, convey, transfer, or otherwise dispose of the owners' interests in the timeshare property, upon such terms and conditions as the board of directors, in its sole discretion, shall determine. The timeshare property may be conveyed by deed or other appropriate instrument of conveyance executed and acknowledged by two officers of the association, which instrument recites that it is made pursuant to the authority provided by this Section and, if the timeshare documents provide any procedure therefor, that the procedure set forth in the timeshare documents for the disposition of the timeshare property was followed. After such conveyance, it shall be conclusively presumed that a deed or other instrument of conveyance so executed and acknowledged, and containing such recitals, shall vest good and marketable title in the vendee named therein. No action may be instituted by or on behalf of any owner to set aside or invalidate any conveyance so made. D.(1) Any proceeds remaining after expenses associated with the termination of a timeshare plan that are received by the association in connection with the sale or other disposition of the owner's interest in the timeshare property shall be distributed to owners in accordance with such owner's percentage ownership in the timeshare property, when a timeshare plan is composed of timeshare estates, and in accordance with the applicable owner's pro rata share of timeshare expenses in the case of a timeshare plan composed of timeshare uses. (2) If the timeshare plan is a lease timeshare interest plan, such proceeds shall be distributed to owners in the same ratio as they share timeshare expense liability. E. The association shall notify each owner of the right to receive a pro rata share of the proceeds by certified mail, return receipt requested, sent to the owner's last known address listed in the association records. This notice shall state that the owner shall have one hundred twenty days in which to claim the proceeds, the method for making such claim, and the fact that failure to do so within the allowable time period shall result in the termination of the right to receive the proceeds. Any unclaimed proceeds shall be redistributed to owners who make a claim on a pro rata basis under Subsection D of this Section. F. If the association fails to act pursuant to Subsection C of this Section within one hundred eighty days from the termination of the timeshare plan, any owner may seek partition of the timeshare property in a court of competent jurisdiction.
