3 cords of wood were bought and the seller only delivered 1 1/2. Stated that the rest would be delivered the next day. It has been 2 months and wood or money has not been returned.

Although you don't have a writing, it appears that you have evidence that a contract was entered. It will now be an issue of forcing delivery. Please contact an attorney if you need assistance.
What determines the State for the purpose of rescinding a license to occupy a suite (timeshare)
licensor State or The licensee State of residence

answered on Oct 13, 2018
It will depend on the contract you signed, but even if says something contrary, the state where the property is located will almost always also apply. However, there can be some confusion about this, and I wrote an article about this very issue with my local bar that you can read here:... View More

I'd be happy to help. I did write an article about timeshare exit companies that you can find here: https://skidmorehales.com/article
The short of it is that timeshare exit companies tend to be scams. They ask for money up front and do little to help timeshare owners. In fact, they... View More

I recommend retaining an attorney to communicate with your uncle if he continues to ignore your requests.
Is that true ? Why do I have to sign anything? The divorce was between them. She’s saying because we’re married now that I have to sign papers because of the Arizona law of community property.

answered on Sep 25, 2018
If Arizona's community property laws are like ours here in Idaho, you shouldn't have to sign off on anything. If the ex does not want the timeshare anymore, she can sign it over to your husband, or she can take it. Based on my experience with timeshares, I'd recommend trying to give... View More
We both are liable but he refuses to pay and that don't think it fair to pay for the whole thing myself. but now the loan has been reported to the credit bureau because no payment has been made. So would be able to sue him for have of the 8400 that is due now?

answered on Sep 11, 2018
It's possible, but title to timeshares are typically takes with both owners being joint and severally liable. Meaning that you are responsible to pay if he does not. I suppose that you could sue on equitable claims, but it may be difficult.
In these situations, clients have often... View More
Travel membership with pulaski tickets and tours.

I would probably have to review the agreement, but in most cases, these can be cancelled by having an attorney contact the collection agency. Please let me know if you have any questions about this process.
Would associated plan conversion documents be rescinded as well? I traded previous timeshare ownerships to purchase the new one. I signed the contract and decided to cancel it on the same date.

answered on Sep 6, 2018
Yes, all fees must be returned to the purchaser. The association, however, is permitted at times to retain the value of any promotional items given to you at the sales presentation.
And if I understand your second question correctly, then yes, the new purchase contract would be rescinded... View More

If it's sufficiently severe, then yes, it would be actionable. The question is whether the gossiping would be objectively hostile. You'll want to review the facts with an attorney.
Do I need a lawyer (the timeshare is only valued at $1500)? Is set-aside without administration in addition to filing of probate for the timeshare in Nevada or is this the probate filing and title and is it the only step needed to file?

answered on Aug 14, 2018
When I have clients that need advice on Nevada probate law, I typically refer them to Russell Bowler, an attorney at Bowler Dixon & Twitchell.

There are going to be a number of ethical issues here for attorneys. For example, there are rules about referral services like this as well as how the attorneys would be paid. Because there are so many issues to discuss, I'd recommend finding an attorney to review this all in detail.

answered on Jul 27, 2018
I had a client who listed these with their real estate holdings. When the timeshare is alerted that you have filed for bankruptcy, you will have the ability to give the timeshare back to the resort. I'd recommend this because I had a client who did not do this. And while her existing... View More

Timeshare companies will allow the sale of the timeshare so long as it is paid in full. You execute a deed to effect the transfer on the public records AND you work with the timeshare company to effect the transfer on their records.
If the timeshare is not paid in full, the timeshare... View More

answered on Jul 10, 2018
My recollection is that sample packages do not have the typical recession rights as a true timeshare purchase. That being said, you may still have some options if you'd like to get an attorney involved and depending on how the purchase was structured.
I live in PA and the timeshare is in TN. I gave them $500 deposit and tried to call yesterday to cancel and he wouldn't listen to me. Of course I can't find any directions in the packet how to cancel.

answered on Jul 8, 2018
You have to follow the directions in the documents they gave you. If you have any questions about that, let me know.

You can always deed property to another by filling out the forms, but the timeshare statutes that I'm aware of require acceptance by the transferee...you in this case. I'd recommend pressing this with the attorney for the resort.
When there is a dues balance in the 4th?

I just answered this on your other post, but let me know if you still have questions.
Due to medical debt even after I advised the board and have been paying balance down monthly on the 4th unit--the board has blocked the 3 that have been paid in full

answered on Jun 29, 2018
This will depend on the bylaws or internal rules of the resort/management company. I'm guessing this is a smaller resort because most of the large companies (headquartered in Orlando) that I've worked with wouldn't do this unless all ownership was combined into one unified points system.

Does resort need approval of some kind for this policy since the maintenance fees formerly paid by them are now off loaded to the existing owners? Would the resort have to disclose this policy to...

answered on Jun 29, 2018
The authority to do this would be included in the bylaws. The problem occurs, as you point out, when other owners are burdened with the increased fees. However, this disclosure doesn't not have be made explicitly to owners; it's simply the risk that comes with purchasing any... View More
