Father passed away and Mother unable to use timeshare at Welk Resort Escondido

No mortgage.
2023 Maintenance Fees have been paid ($2650)
Will help with fees associated with sale.
Sales agreement says 1 week Escondido 3 BR EOY equivalent (Not sure what that means)

No one has used this timeshare for some years.
I don’t know much about timeshares but thought I would offer before we try to deed back or stop paying maintenance fees.

At least you know your options and don’t feel you have to keep putting money into it.

I’d love to know if you are able to deed back. We aren’t having much success doing that with Welk.

are you listed on the ownership? or is it only in the name of your deceased parents?

welk/hyatt should not charge you to surrender this back if all the owners are deceased and or you dont find a taker here!

Thanks Brian,
Mother is still alive but is in assisted living arrangement and not able to use the timeshare.
I appreciate your information however and appreciate this website.
Cheers,
Don

I think Welk was purchased by Marriott. My parents can't travel to their timeshare, so I am trying to figure out what can be done.

all owners have the same 3 options available to dispose of an unwanted timeshare, some are just easier than others depending on what is trying to be disposed of!

Depending on what your parents own, they may have a deedback program. Unless you also own Welk as the OP. If its a decent week and resort, you may be able to give it away for free. Some people, especially on here are always looking for good traders.

Welk (or whoever they are now) does not have a deedback "at this time". We're going through this after sending a formal letter releasing our points to them last December, 2022. We're currently in collections. Which is causing no end of problems to us personally...as in arguments as to what to do.

Hi there Don, is this still available? We would be very interested do you know if these points are usable at the other welks or whatever they're called or solely at the Escondido location?

Love to your mother and may your father rest in peace.
