Key considerations

The first questions are about urgency, governance and preservation — before collection expands or interviews begin.

  1. Scope — Hotel operations, resort/theme-park development and vacation membership/timeshare contracts, coordinated with tourism and land rules.
  2. Immediate task — Separate land/development, operating licence and consumer-contract issues.
  3. Boundary — If another practice owns a distinct issue, use Related topics below rather than duplicating that analysis here.

Decision map

Keep the question bounded.

  1. Define the hospitality asset and operating modelMap land and building rights, hotel or resort ownership, operator and brand agreements, unit interests and any timeshare or membership structure.
  2. Verify licences, sales terms and revenue rightsCollect operating permits, management and franchise contracts, unit-sale disclosures, booking or usage rules, fee records and revenue-allocation documents.
  3. Separate property, consumer and operating issuesRoute title and development questions, buyer or member claims, and operator performance disputes through the relevant approval, contract and remedy framework.
