Re: unable to give away timeshare-need lawyer? (by Don P.):

I have to respectfully disagree with you Ken . No one can get inside someone's mind and see what their intent is . It makes we wonder when a rich person uses someone else's money to gamble on a investment or business deal and loses and then takes a tax write off of almost a billion dollars he is considered a genius and can even go on to be elected to a high position in a country. When a wealthy businessman uses a " loophole " to avoid paying his fair share of taxes he gets praises from his colleagues but when an ordinary person finds a " loophole " that works for him he is called a criminal. The hypothetical solution has a few twists . It could be anyone that is willing to take the timeshare off your hands including someone that has absolutely nothing to lose .

I challenge you to show me anything in a contract that states that the owner has to check the credit of the person they transfer ownership to . The resort may have the right to first refusal that actually works in the owners behalf. The resort can take back the property and that is a win win for everyone. As far as requiring ID that's not a problem because you are transferring ownership to is a real person and it will be notarized and perfectly legal.

If anything you should be condemning the deceitful practices that the developer uses to push their products by selling them to people who they hold hostage for hours with the promise of a gift to wear them down to sell them something that is virtually worthless on the open market the moment they walk out the door.

I will not advise anyone to do anything illegal but since I believe in freedom of speech that I served this country to defend I will keep the conversation open and bounce ideas off people to help others. I think that is the purpose of the forums .
