Re: Current info on walking away from a timeshare (by R P.):

We've had no one come back on us, the company is happy, the new owners may have used it and maybe not. I don't care. All I know is it's not our worry anymore. First we called to find out the cost to have papers done, then we advertised it for that amount in our local paper. Try it, it just might work for you to.
That's a great idea capri but the key words to your situation was 'several years ago' .... in this economy many timeshares are being given away with many owners paying closing costs (or by using a Quit Claim deed), however if someone is looking for a particular timeshare in a particular location and they can get if for free by simply agreeing to pay all future maintenance fees then it's a win-win situation for both previous owner and new owner.
