707.24(1) (1) Termination by agreement. All time shares in a time-share property may be terminated only by agreement of the time-share owners having at least 80 percent of the time shares, except that the time-share instrument may require approval by a greater majority.
707.24(2) (2) Recording of agreement.
707.24(2)(a) (a) An agreement to terminate all time shares in a time-share property shall be evidenced by a termination agreement which meets the requirements of s. 706.05 (2) for recording, is signed by each of the time-share owners who agree to termination under sub. (1) and provides that the agreement will be void unless the agreement is recorded before a specified date.
707.24(2)(b) (b) A termination agreement shall be recorded in the office of the register of deeds of each county in which a portion of the time-share property is located and shall be effective only upon recordation.
707.24(3) (3) Agreement without sales contract.
707.24(3)(a) (a) Unless the termination agreement sets forth a sales contract described in sub. (4) , title to an estate or interest in each time-share unit, equal to the sum of the time shares in the time-share unit, shall vest upon termination in the time-share owners of the time-share unit in proportion to their respective interests under sub. (6m) or (7) , and liens on the time shares shall shift accordingly to encumber those interests.
707.24(3)(b) (b) Upon termination, an owner of an estate or interest in a time-share unit under par. (a) may maintain an action for partition under ch. 842 .
707.24(4) (4) Agreement with sales contract. If the termination agreement sets forth the material terms of a contract or proposed contract under which an estate or interest in each time-share unit, equal to the sum of the time shares in the time-share unit, is to be sold and designates a trustee to effect the sale, title to that estate or interest shall vest upon termination in the trustee for the benefit of the time-share owners, to be transferred under the contract. Proceeds of the sale shall be distributed to time-share owners and lienholders under sub. (6) .
707.24(5) (5) Rights and liabilities after termination. Except as otherwise specified in the termination agreement, if the former time-share owners or their trustee holds title to the estate or interest equal to the sum of the time shares, each former time-share owner and the time-share owner’s successors in interest have the same rights with respect to occupancy in the former time-share unit that the former time-share owner would have had if termination had not occurred, together with the same liabilities and other obligations imposed under this chapter or the time-share instrument.
707.24(6) (6) Distribution of proceeds. After termination of all time shares in a time-share property and adequate provision for the payment of the claims of the creditors for time-share expenses, the proceeds shall be distributed to the former time-share owners and their successors in interest in proportion to their interests as determined under sub. (6m) or (7) . The distribution shall consist of the proceeds of any sale under this section and the proceeds of any personalty or other funds held for the use and benefit of the former time-share owners. After termination, creditors of the association holding liens perfected against the time-share property before the termination may enforce those liens in the same manner as any other lienholder. All other creditors of the association shall be treated as if they had liens on time-share property which were perfected immediately before termination.
707.24(6m) (6m) Interests specified. The time-share instrument may specify the respective fractional or percentage interest in the estate or interest in each time-share unit equal to the sum of the time shares in the time-share unit that will be owned by each former time-share owner.
707.24(7) (7) Appraisals.
707.24(7)(a) (a) If the specification under sub. (6m) is not made, an appraisal under par. (b) of the fair market value of each time share shall be made not more than 180 days before the termination by one or more impartial qualified appraisers, selected either by the trustee designated in the termination agreement or by the managing entity if no trustee is designated.
707.24(7)(b) (b) The appraisal shall state the corresponding fractional or percentage interests calculated in proportion to those values and shall be made in accordance with all of the following:
707.24(7)(b)1. 1. If the termination agreement sets forth a sales contract described in sub. (4) , each time share conferring a right of occupancy during a limited number of time periods shall be appraised as if the time until the date specified for the conveyance of the property had already elapsed.
707.24(7)(b)2. 2. If the termination agreement does not set forth a sales contract described in sub. (4) , each time share conferring a right of occupancy during a limited number of time periods shall be appraised as if the date specified under sub. (2) had already elapsed.
707.24(7)(b)3. 3. The interest of each time-share owner is the value of the time share divided by the sum of the values of all time shares in the unit or units to which the time share applies.
707.24(7)(c) (c) A notice stating all values and corresponding interests determined under par. (b) and the return address of the sender shall be sent by certified or registered mail by the managing entity or by the trustee designated in the termination agreement to all time-share owners.
707.24(7)(d) (d) The appraisal governs the magnitude of each interest unless at least 25 percent of the time-share owners deliver, within 60 days after the notices required under par. (c) are mailed, written disapprovals to the sender of the notice or unless a court determines that the appraisal should be set aside.
707.24(8) (8) Foreclosure. Foreclosure or enforcement of a lien or encumbrance against all of the time shares in a time-share property does not, of itself, terminate those time shares.
