As an alternative to a "homeless person", if you happened to know either a person or a business entity that was about to declare Chapter 7 (but not 11 or 13 ) bankruptcy, you could sell the timeshare to them - $1 would be fine, I should think. Now, they declare the asset (the timeshare unit) and the liability (the maintenance fee) in their filing. The bankruptcy erases their obligation. Yours is already gone because you sold it to them. Everybody's happy except the resort. Now they have to sell the darn thing again, if they can, but it's not your problem. Obviously, you should verify this approach with competent legal counsel, like the lawyer handling the bankrutpcy - see above. However, I think you'll find it's pretty bulletproof. Good luck!
