Re: Need for escrow (by Kari K.):
Peter, I am no schill and I categorically do not own OR have ever worked of a title & escrow company. I do, however, work for a Kona attorney who specializes in property transfers (timeshare or not); wills, trusts and probates and we do thousands of timeshare transfers a year.
The liens on the timeshares I recently worked on were GE TAX LIENS---that's general excise, for those unfamiliar. That means, these people failed to pay their GE taxes.... Any type of lien can be slapped onto a person's property and if a person didn't know how to read the legends in the Bureau's website, or failed to have the savvy to even figure it out, this could be a problem to a new owner who later sells the timeshare to someone requesting a title report or policy. It may even thwart the sale because that lien will have to be cleared and clearing an old lien, tracking the people involved can be an expensive feat.
Sorry to disappoint you about my cover----I'd gladly tell you exactly who I work for and the dba but I'm afraid I'd get another reprimand for trying to 'advertise'.
