Strictly hypothetical : Say you were to go and stay at your home resort and one day while you driving around you noticed some homeless people milling around. Being the compassionate person that you are you decided to do a humanitarian thing. You offered one of them your week at the resort to spend inside and out of the element . You offered to take him or her to a notary public and donate your timeshare to him or her through a quit claim deed . To add to your generosity you paid their first years maintenance fees so they could enjoy their first stay on you and you could sleep better at night knowing you helped someone in need .

Once the deed has been transferred out of your name then it will be up to the new owners to pay the future expenses and everyone lives happily ever after . The story has a happy ending and just maybe the establishment will realize that the average person can be creative beside generous.

Hopefully this is strictly hypothetical because there is at least one problem with this scenario. Some resorts, before accepting new owners on a deed are requiring ID and a credit check to avoid transfers like the one you mentioned above.

Interesting concept but probably would not fly.
