I feel your pain. Just be glad you're not me. I passed ROFR over 2 weeks ago, and b/c the seller is international (and didn't have their **** together), they can't get to a US embassy until 8/10. A full 3 weeks after I sent in my closing documents. This thing is going to drag on.

I dont understand why you need to go to a US embassy?. 2 years ago I sold a timeshare in the US, and the closing company just email me the documents, and then I had to sign them and return them snail mail. Because the closing company had a photo copy of my ID, that was doable.

my understanding is that international sellers have to go to a US embassy to sign the closing documents. Maybe it is something to do with the notary?

I weren't and I'm from Europe. I think it all depends on the closing company, if they can step in as the notary as mine did then you shouldn't need to go to a us embassy.

The timeshare I sold was not Dvc but hgvc but I would assume the same terms apply.

Yes you are correct documents must be notarized by a US notary (told this by multiple brokers and 2 title agencies that specialize in DVC). For Canadian sellers I've learned (from the boards) this can be very easy but in many foreign countries the only way to access a US notary is at the US embassy. I'm not sure why the other poster didn't have to notarize their documents for sale. Perhaps the law has changed?

My guess is that More than likely the notary for the timeshare store signed that they witnessed the signature even though they didn't.

I suppose if they face timed the signature it could be ok?

So video notary is a state by state issue. Virginia apparently allows it. Florida does not (at least according to this website--I'm too lazy to research the actual law).

I didn't even think to ask the poster who said he didn't need his forms notarized-I just assumed he/she was talking about a Florida property that wasn't DVC. I've never researched this but my understanding is that Florida has a lot more timeshare laws/regulations than many other states (probably due to the sheer number located there).

The timeshare I sold was in Vegas dunno if that's the reason why the documents shouldn't be notarized at a us embassy.

FL law requires 2 witnesses and a notary on the deed but there's no requirement for a notary on the other documents that I'm aware of.

I think the same applies for NV. The timeshare I sold or deeded back as it was. The broker which was used was sumdayvacations and they acted as a closing service also, and they were authorized to act as a notary, and since they had a copy of our photoID we could just sign it snail mail it back.

That would be illegal for FL as I understand it.

It's illegal in Nevada as I understand it also. The person must sign while in the presence of the notary.

The 2 witnesses must sign that they witnessed the signature. The notary is witnessing that the person signing is who it says it is. The notary can also be a witness but must sign both locations to do so for FL.

Nevada statutes indicate that the person must sign in front of the notary (as I understand it). The notary verifies the signer is who they say they are by an ID or if they know the person that is also acceptable but they must also see the person they are verifying is the one who signs. That is separate from the witnesses. I'm not positive if the notary can be a witness also but believe they can be.

I know for sure they can in FL and I see no reason they couldn't be for other locations. However, the act of notarizing does not count as a witness for FL. For them to be precluded, the statues or rules would have to specifically state they couldn't or that the witnesses had to be different from the notary and I can think of no reason they would do that.
