[Q=thomash246] I thank you all (especially Darlene) for the kindness and words of wisdom. This has been a sad and awkward time for us. My brother lives in the same state where our father had lived prior to his passing away, and he is in a better position than I to deal with a lawyer and the ensuing estate issues. Although I live 1200 miles away, I am merely trying to help him out wherever I can. I will pass along the opinions expressed here at Redweek to my brother and sister. We are not necessarily in a major hurry to unload a bunch of timeshares points just yet. I suppose I ought to figure ought how to rent them here on Redweek. Thanks,[/Q] [b]I don't know how much you and your siblings like to travel, but you might consider dividing the points and keeping them for future vacations. The only problem I see in this scenario is how to divide the points? Are they all with one point system (ie; Marriott, Starwood, Hilton etc), are they all RCI points or are they a mixture of different point systems? The best way to rent if you own points is to reserve a highly sought after week (any holiday week) in a highly sought after location then post that week for rent on internet listing sites such as Redweek. However, be aware that the travel industry is down as a whole due to the economy, so you might consider this wnen you list your rental price. Try comparing rentals with other owners ads and list yours lower. Whatever you decide to do I wish you well and am sorry to hear of your father's passing. He must have loved to travel.[/b]
