Re: Donate a timeshare (by Don P.):

I was looking to get rid of my two timeshares any we I could. I tried to sell them, give them away or doante them. I then read an article in Time Sharing Today that suggested contacting the timeshare office and asking them to take them back. I called the two offices and notified tham that I am going to get rid of them with or without their assistance. They both agreed to take them back through quit claim deeds. They only required that I be up to date on all my fees and assessments. They sent me the paperwork and I filled it out, had it notarized and sent it back. The only cost was paying the current years taxes and a minimal fee for processing. I now have two recorded quit claim deeds and I am completely free of any obligation to them. It was that easy. I would gladly have paid someone a moderate fee to take them off of my hands but there is no garantee they would be transfered out of my name. I would suggest to anyone wanting to get out of their timeshares to first contact the office and let them know you are getting rid of them and let them have the first offer. I am now free and relieved that I never have to deal with RCI again.
