Is there a way to get rid of them without doing that (and going through probate)? We're interested in the cheapest way to legally rid ourselves of these timeshares now that the last owner has passed away.

Thanks.

Whoever has the authority to sell it, I recommend listing it on reputable resale sites such as RedWeek or My Resort Network for $1 or even free.

If you really want to sell it quickly, offer to also pay the closing costs (about $300).

Also, be patient. Many timeshares can take months or even years to sell. If you don't receive any immediate responsed to the ad, don't panic.

And, above all, never, ever pay anyone a large, upfront fee to sell, rent out, or market your timeshare.
