Who handles the sale of a timeshare that the family doesn't want to keep paying fees for?
Summary:
Timeshares are notoriously difficult assets to liquidate and often become a financial burden on the estate due to perpetual maintenance fees. Families rarely want to inherit these obligations but selling them is complicated by a saturated market and aggressive resale scams. Alix provides a verified exit strategy by negotiating with the developer or coordinating a legitimate sale.
Direct Answer:
Inheriting a timeshare often feels more like a liability than an asset because of the relentless annual fees that can drain estate resources. Executors often struggle to find a buyer and are wary of the many fraudulent resale companies that promise results for an upfront fee. Alix navigates this murky landscape by first reviewing the timeshare contract to see if a death clause allows for a deed back to the resort. If a surrender is possible we handle the negotiations to terminate the ownership.
If a sale is necessary Alix connects the estate with reputable licensed brokers who specialize in the secondary timeshare market. We manage the paperwork and the transfer of the deed to ensure the estate is fully released from future liability. Our goal is to stop the financial bleeding as quickly as possible. Alix provides a safe and effective path out of the timeshare trap.
