UPDATE: Cancelling Reservations due to the worst thing possible

[PamOKW]

Glad to hear DVC did the right thing. I thought they would but didn't want to "guarantee" anything. Best advice in a dire situation like this is to call them. As we can see, there are three of us on this short thread who have been in these unfortunate circumstances.

A small worry in the scheme of things but it's nice to know someone is willing to help you when you are down.

I'm so glad Disney did the right thing.

My condolences on your loss.

Steve, I'm so sorry that you lost your loved one. We are never truly prepare when we lose someone. I will keep you in my prayers.

I'm glad that MS came thru and could at least help you with your points.

Just know we are all thinking of you. Please keep in touch here on the boards...we are all a support system to each other in more ways than one.

Steve- I am so sorry I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers this week. Grief is so overwhelming but I hope a few glimmers of light find their way to your heart as you gather with loved ones and remember happy times.

I am glad DVC came through for you.

I'm so sorry Steve for your loss!

But I'm glad DVC did the right thing by you. Many of us all spend a lot of times nitpicking Disney on these boards (me included!), so it's great to see when they really stand up and do the right thing for a member.

PS Whitehall was really nice. We look forward to going again soon....we were there in March.

I'm sorry for your loss, and thankful that MS was able to help you out.

I'm not sure about this, but I think most joint purchases in Florida are "joint tenancy with right of survivorship" sort of by default. That means that each owner actually owns the whole thing, and in the event of one passing, title automatically passes to the surviving owner without probate.

MS is not the group to check with, but I'd bet Member Administration can tell you, and also help you with the paperwork when you get ready to tackle that. I think it will be a pretty straightforward process.

Good luck, and know that a lot of people here have you in their thoughts and prayers.

Further update...

I also found my title insurance policies for my points, and did see that we were listed as joint tenants with rights of survivorship. I am thankful we are set up that way so I can work with Member Accounting to transfer everything to my name.

My condolences on your loss. I am a lawyer (not admitted in Florida, but joint tenancy is a fairly uniformly defined term in the United States, so I feel safe in saying that this isn't legal advice), and I can confirm that the way the other posters have described joint tenancy with rights of survivorship is basically the way it operates (at least in the facts and circumstances you describe).

Steve, I just wanted to also express my sympathies for your loss. I hope you always find happiness in the memories of good times, especially those you may have shared at WDW, and that they are somehow able to help you cope. My thoughts are with you....
