Please elaborate on how does it not go on their kids, when its a deed and its attached to their estate? All of them are paid off and have been for years. No Mortgage All Fees are current 100%

As stated before we have tried to sell them, give them away even and offer to pay transfer fee for 3 years. This has cost over 30K, Maint. Fee's, listing fee's and such.

With that said, I do believe Exit/Termination companies would not exist if all this was not so hard. I see value in what they do in not having to ruin credit or waste 30K+ in the past 3 years in trying to rent or sell and to me renting is a very short term approach on renting and does not resolve getting rid of them if and when you want to. The value to exit to me is they get rid of it and no more of this other stuff and more time passing.

I repeat. No one is forced to accept an unwanted timeshare. The estate might still be responsible for it but the heirs are not forced to accept it.

Also, if the mortgage is paid up as well as the maintenance fees, then some resorts will accept units back if the owner agrees to pay closing costs and possibly the next maintenance fee. That, I repeat, will still be less than what these exit companies charge.

There is also the option on TUG's Bargain Deals section. Has that been tried?

And I repeat this question that still hasn't been answered. What can these exit companies do for owners that owners can't do for themselves? These exit companies will do one of a number of things to get a new owner for the unit. One, negotiate with the resort to take the unit back. Two, use the viking ship method. Three, try to sell or give it away. Or four, tell the owners to stop paying which will eventually lead to foreclosure.
