Notarizing Closing Documents for Aulani

[gobears157]

Guess what?

Someone now has a DVC Dashboard. Yaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!

I sent a copy of the recorded deed to my guide yesterday evening and lo and behold. I am super stoked!

Are you assigned a DVC guide when Disney sends you the DVC purchase confirmation email? I'm waiting for that email.

No. I had called DVC to take advantage of the AKL owner offer (once I became an owner) and got a guide at that time.

I read your Closing information on the other thread, and we definitely used the same Title Company, and we probably had the same broker too. This is probably the reason why your first contract closing documents looked like mine and did not need a notary. I'm glad that you have your membership dashboards and hope your points load soon!

Thank you! It was your post saying that it had all worked out that talked me back off the proverbial ledge. I had an anxious moment or two!

Same combo here and definitely feeling a bit better about the whole deal. Now, if they’d just send me some closing docs.

I’m so glad it worked out. I was so nervous until someone on this board DM’d me and told me the broker and title company are both legitimate!

Oh I didn’t realize you had the same combo for closing too! Yes, it all worked out in the end. I had a paralegal double check today that my deed was listed on the BOC. She noted that the Seller notarized their part, but the Buyer (me) did not, and said it was a little strange but everything looked fine.

Every once in a while, there are posts about what happens to your DVC contracts after you die. Usually the posts are about Florida DVC contracts, when the dead owner lived in a different state. The typical advice for the family is to contact a Florida attorney, because a DVC contract is treated like owning real estate in Florida.

I would think somebody on here would have a Hawaii attorney who gets used when a person dies and they owned an Aulani contract.

The reason I'm mentioning this (and I do have a reason!) is -- if there is a Hawaii attorney who gets used by families after the death of an Aulani contract owner, then that Hawaii attorney should know what should have been notarized when the contract was purchased. One of you might want to follow up on this. Even if everything is fine while you are using your contract while you are alive, you might want to know if something is being done wrong if it is going to make life more difficult for your family members after you die.

I have hopefully preempted this possibility. I put the DVC contracts into trust.

Digging out this post. It's a good learning for me that Aulani is probably the only DVC that resale buyers need a notary most of the time with very exceptions.
Figured it’s just the deed (buyer part) that needs notarized

I've noticed that this is beginning to change for some resale beyond Aulani--but not everywhere yet.

For AUL, it's the set of closing docs that need to be notarized.

FYI, some banks--if you have accounts there--will do this for free with paper copies. This will save you the $75 to $100 cost of online notaries. Title companies will typically give you a pre-paid label for FedEx return of the docs.

Most closing companies now require the separate affidavit to be notarized (at least for foreign buyers). Not all doing it yet though. I think it depends on which company issues the title insurance and what their requirement are.

I've never paid for a notary. Anytime I've needed one (including for my Aulani contracts) I've always gone to one of my local Chase branches. I have never been asked to show proof of business, even though I do have accounts with them. I make sure to call ahead to make an appt.

I thought online notary can be just $25 per document? Is the marketed pricing not including certain fees?

So it doesn't have to be any business related to them? That's nice!
