Re: WHERE CAN WE GO TO GET FREE LEGAL ADVICE ON DUMPING TIMESHARES?

I own weeks at three different resorts, one is run by the original LARGE developer in Florida, the other two are run by the elected Board of Directors. These two (one in Tahoe, one in Hawaii, both Gold Crown) do perform foreclosures, as well as take deeds in lieu of foreclosures. Since they no longer have an active marketing organization, they have a choice. Most times they will conduct auctions, setting the minimum opening bid at the balance due from maintenance fees plus some small expenses, with the winning bidder to pay escrow and any transfer fees. Or they simply list them with local Realtor (in Tahoe area) for sale or with HTSE as a rental. I have no experience on this subject with Westgate. Bottom line, in response to the original writer, your future is very much dependent on the resort where you own. BTW, have you no children or grandchildren who might be interested in taking the interval over, or maybe one of their friends - try some networking at your church/synagogue/mosque, club, service organization, or any other group to which you belong to find someone interested. But, NEVER listen to any pitch from an organization about taking the interval off your hands for a fee - they are all scams! Good luck.
