Yes — you may title your Disney Vacation Club (DVC) membership in the name of a trust, and many buyers choose to do so for estate planning, shared ownership, or asset protection. Disney fully allows trust ownership, but it’s important to follow the correct steps depending on your stage in the process.
If You Have Not Signed an Agreement (Very Easy)
Before signing your purchase agreement, adding a trust is simple. Log into your profile, go to Section A, and click “Edit Preferences.” Enter the full legal name of your trust (e.g., “The Smith Family Revocable Living Trust dated June 1, 2022”) and list all trustees. Click the lock icon to save. This ensures the contract and deed are generated correctly from the start.
If You’ve Signed the Agreement but Not Closed (Easy)
If the contract is already signed but the transaction hasn’t closed, you can still update your trust information. Use the same “Edit Preferences” section to input your trust name and trustees. Our team will issue an addendum to update the contract. The addendum must be approved by both the title company and Disney, but the process is straightforward and does not affect your closing timeline.
If the Transaction Has Already Closed (Expensive)
Once the deed has been recorded, titling your DVC membership in a trust requires a formal post-closing transfer. You’ll need to work directly with the title agent to prepare and record a new deed, and additional fees will apply. While it’s still possible, this route involves more time and cost.
If you’re unsure which step applies or need guidance, our team is always available to help make sure your trust is properly documented and approved by Disney.
