I am named the executer of her will and will be going to probate here in Texas where she resided. The timeshare company is willing to take back ownership but I do not know how to get legal papers, or what legal papers that will be needed for me to sign it back over to them. The timeshare is in...

Reach out to the timeshare's management company. They will prepare the documents for you to sign as executor. This should be fairly simple.

I believe that this would be possible. I don't have much info here, so I will say that if you have an attorney, I would recommend that you show him or her this article: https://www.targheelaw.com/article

You asked this a while back, so I'm hoping you have this resolved by now. If you have questions, however, I did write an article that you and your attorney may find helpful. It's about the timeshare industry and how best to protect your interests. You can find it at www.targheelaw.com/article.
Purchased a Texas timeshare with a (then) room mate in 1984, verbally agreeing to share the property and expenses on a 50/50 basis. We moved apart many years ago and over 22 years ago the (now ex) room mate stopped making payments and having any involvement in the timeshare. I am now trying to get... View More

This can be difficult. I've heard of similar cases where the owner will hire an attorney to contact the ex-roommate. Sometimes they will respond to an attorney's letter where they will just ignore letters from old friends. It may be worth talking to a local attorney to see if he/she could... View More

If you have proof that you sent the letter (which I'm assuming you do because it was sent via certified mail), you should be fine. The rescission letter is valid of the day it's sent, not when it is received. Refusing to sign for the letter should not affect the validity of your rescission letter.
My father bought a timeshare in Florida. They explained everything in Portuguese and he signed a lot of paper in English he could not understand. He gave a down payment and does not want the apartment anymore. I tried to cancel after 12 days and they told him he could not because he had only 10... View More

This question is quite old, so I imagine that any information given would be unnecessary. I imagine that he did not pay and the timeshare company foreclosed on it already. Typically, they do not pursue former owners for the costs of foreclosure, but I'd be interested to know what happened.
Our Marriott Executve Destinations was sold on the basis of being able to rent it to pay fees and recap initial cost

Probably not. The contract will govern the agreement, and it's very likely that the contract indicates that any verbal representations made during the sales presentation are not binding. Nonetheless, you may have options. I wrote an article on this subject to my state bar association that you... View More

Please let me know if you have additional questions.
They mislead me and did not ever advise me of my rights to cancel till it was too late . I am 1 day late because I was on vacation and didn't fully read till I returned home. They even lied about how much I made to the credit care company, it Wyndham ,

I purchased a timeshare in Las Vegas with my wife, before we were married. She has since passed away. I no longer want the timeshare, but was told I cannot sell it or give it away because I need to find all of her potential heirs and have them release their claims on the property first. Is this...

The answer to this will likely have some state law issues that I could not answer. However, there are ways that an attorney could help you cancel this timeshare. I wrote an article for my state's bar publication last year that will have important information for you and your attorney. You can... View More
I have a timeshare with westgate resort and can no longer afford to pay the monthly or annual fees. Can I get out of it?
answered on Sep 18, 2017
It's possible to get out of this contract. I wrote an article for the state bar association a while back that will have valuable information for you and your attorney. You can access it here: https://www.targheelaw.com/article.
The time share is through Hilton grand vacations club. We've had it 5 months. Never used it. Can't afford it. Definitely a mistake. Trying to find a way out. Would a lawyer be able to help or should we just move on?
answered on Sep 18, 2017
Oftentimes, an attorney can negotiate a cancellation even beyond the typical rescission period. I wrote an article about this last year for my state bar and it may be helpful to you and your attorney now. You can find it at https://www.targheelaw.com/article.
