Good article. Kudos to it for revealing one huge falsehood that most "exit" operations foster and perpetuate when they try to "guilt trip" people by imploring "You don't really want to burden your children with this timeshare, do you?"
The TRUTH is that unless offspring are specifically NAMED on a timeshare deed (an action which is almost always a very bad idea, in my opinion), those offspring need NEVER accept the inheritance of a timeshare ownership if they don't want it. They can simply file a disclaimer to REJECT any such unwanted inheritance. Of course, revealing that particular truth would take a whole lot of steam and allure away from the pitch of those upfront fee "exit / relief / escape/ rescue" parasites and / or the so-called "PostCard Companies". After all, it would work directly against their financial interests to let those facts and that truth "dilute" their "pitch".
The only item to which I must take exception in the article is a mention by one attorney of "donating" an unwanted timeshare to a "charity organization". That is just a silly and misleading statement, since NO legitimate charity on Planet Earth wants ANY part of accepting a "timeshare donation", which is an ongoing financial liability with its' own firmly attached annual costs. As such, it would be a unwelcome and expensive burden (not actually a "gift" or a "donation"). Any legitimate charity knows this and wants NO part of any such attempt to "make YOUR burden THEIR burden".
