FREQUESNTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why won’t the timeshare company help me get out of my contract?
Timeshare sales teams are trained to keep owners locked in. They push “upgrades,” more “points,” or “membership plans” instead of offering a true exit. You may hear:
“You just need a few more points to afford your dream vacation.”
“Contact our claims department—it will help you resell your timeshare.”
These are misleading promises. The so-called “claims department” may charge high fees, attempt to resell your interest, and leave you liable for ongoing payments — possibly indefinitely.
Don’t trust referrals from your timeshare salesperson. Their goal is profit, not your freedom.
How can I stop collection agencies from harassing me about my timeshare?
If you’re being bombarded with calls from collection agencies tied to your timeshare:
Block every phone number associated with the developer and any third-party agency.
Until you hire a legal representative, the calls won’t stop—they’re only looking for payment.
Once our law firm is your legal counsel, all communications must go through us — not you.
What if I have multiple timeshares and maintenance fees?
Owning more than one timeshare is common—sales teams often target you repeatedly. If you have multiple contracts, you likely face multiple sets of fees, calls, and obligations.
We help you:
Evaluate each contract; and
Terminate your obligations on multiple timeshares.
Can my timeshare be legally terminated?
Yes — you can legally exit a timeshare. Once an attorney is engaged, the process starts to end your timeshare obligations.
Can I stop paying my timeshare fees now?
Talk to an attorney to seek advisement. Stopping payments without protection may lead to: lawsuits, judgments, or liens. With representation, however, we can protect you from legal action pursued by the creditors or timeshare company.
Why won’t the timeshare company let me cancel my contract?
They want to hold you to a lifetime of payment.
Beware of false promises to exit if you only:
· Buy more points.
· Pay a listing fee to sell it.
How is a timeshare contract legal if it seems unfair?
Although many timeshare contracts feel one-sided, they are legally binding. But, laws exist to protect owners from fraud, misrepresentation, and unfair contract terms.
Most states have strong consumer protection laws for victims of timeshare fraud.
Does your service fit my situation?
Yes, we can end all types of vacation ownerships. If you’re not sure whether you own a “deeded timeshare” or just a vacation club/membership, here’s a quick test:
Look for the term “deeded” in your paperwork (this means it’s property recorded with the state).
If you only bought a “membership” or “points plan” (not deeded real estate), it’s handled differently — but you still have legal options.
We evaluate your contract and tell you which service path fits your case.
Do I need an attorney to get out of a timeshare? Why?
Yes — an attorney is essential. Here’s why:
Only an attorney can represent you legally, defend you in court, negotiate with collection agencies, and protect your interests.
Exit companies (non-law firms) cannot provide legal counsel, enforcement or protection from lawsuits.
We are bound by professional and ethical standards to act in your best interest — whereas many exit programs are simply marketing or broker-based.
Are there risks in hiring an attorney for timeshare termination?
Very few— in fact your risk decreases once you hire counsel. Here’s what usually happens:
Direct harassment from the timeshare company and collectors should stop.
We will start the process to terminate your timeshare.
How long does it take to terminate a timeshare contract?
It depends on your contract, financing, and the developer’s policies.

What if I have a mortgage on the timeshare property?
Owning a timeshare with a loan is common. It complicates things slightly.
We analyze your mortgage, financing terms, and determine the best legal strategy to help you eliminate that liability.
How much does your service cost?
Costs vary by complexity. Factors include: outstanding loan amount, number of timeshares, number of creditors, and state law.
We keep rates affordable compared to many firms, and offer flexible payment plans.
What do I need to start the process?
At your initial consultation please bring:
Your timeshare deed and contract(s)
Any correspondence you received from the timeshare company (calls, notices, late-fee letters)
After the consultation, we’ll send two documents for signing: an Attorney Authorization Form and a Fee Agreement.
Will my timeshare go away on its own?
No. A deeded timeshare will not simply vanish due to non-use, death, or transfer without legal action. Timeshares often continue to produce fees, assessments and obligations unless formally terminated.
We help estates and heirs who thought the responsibility ended — only to discover otherwise.
What if I cannot afford legal representation?
We understand. Many of our clients were worried about cost. We offer 12-month payment options to make representation accessible.
Should I buy more points or upgrade as the timeshare company suggests?
No. That tactic is part of the problem. Buying more points:
Increases your debt
Makes cancellation harder
Keeps you locked into their system
Focus instead on exit strategy, not entrenchment.
Are there any known timeshare companies to be especially careful about?
We won’t name specific companies here, because many use similar sales tactics. If you were rushed into signing, pressured, misled or promised returns/resales that never happened — you likely qualify for exit consideration, regardless of company.
What’s the easiest, most affordable way to get rid of my timeshare?
The safest, most cost-effective method is to hire a lawyer who specializes in timeshare termination. We handle the entire process for you — protect your credit, stop the calls and get your name off the deed.
