I agree with Ken. I don't think it would take much to show that you transferred a timeshare to someone who you did the barest of due diligence to determine that they are an actual person who is willing to take your timeshare and the future obligations that go along with it. You certainly don't need to perform a back ground check and a few emails would probably establish both parties intent. I just read an article about one of these relief companies whose employees were sentenced for fraud. One of the charges was the company stole the identities of 75 persons and fraudulently transferred timeshares to them. If a quit claim deed to any name (without establishing that they are willing to accept the timeshare and understand their obligation going forward) is all that is legally needed, then why not give out that advice. Because it is a fraudulent transfer? An HOA may not go after one owner that does it but if more and more do it, they will have to do something to fight back.
