[Q=nancyg671] I understand that the original owner is the owner in perpetuity. How is this condition negated?[/Q][/Q] For most deeded ownerships, the current "grantee" of record remains the lawful owner until / unless a new grantee is identified by a new, lawful recorded deed. There is no means by which to "negate" this legal fact or make it magically "disappear". It's essentially a contract, into which the person once voluntarily entered of their own free will. Non-payment of fees will of course eventually lead to foreclosure, and the current grantee then ceases to be the owner of record when those foreclosure proceedings are completed. Aside from that, it is incumbent upon the current grantee to find a new owner and complete a lawful transfer --- or negotiate a "deedback" to the resort through its' HOA (most HOA'a will not do so, but some will).
