While Dave can certainly respond to your post himself, there are a number of points I want to make in support of his position.
First, what matters on correctness of deeds is
real property law
not timeshare law. While timeshare law is based on a Uniform Act that is adopted in all 50 states and so is relatively uniform except for the older timeshaers still under predecessor laws. Real property law, however, is very state specific and there are variations between states. Someone has to understand local law in the state where the timeshare is located to get it right. The ''one size fits all'' approach to deed forms used by many of the jacklegs is a recipe for disaster. Timeshare law deals mostly with operation of resorts not how to convey one's timeshare interest to another. That falls under general real property law.
Second, AGAIN, as to the law you have to follow, it is totally irrellevent what state you LIVE in. What matters is the law of the state
where the timeshare is located
Third, your ''69%'' figure seems based on some of your own misinterpretations, like Louisiana and seems to involve mostly states where there is little timeshare.
Fourth, I haven't seen anything that Dave has posted that would be a personal attack. He takes the position that people in his business should obey the law, which is a quite reasonable position in any business. I only know Dave through his posts here, but I am impressed that his seems to be the only multi-state timeshare closing company that has the integrity to use only properly licensed personnel in compliance with the law, and something I have just learned in this thread that his company has also gotten properly licensed in 22 states to handle escrow. Personally, I would have a lot more confidence in an operation that obeys the laws and does thing by the book, rather than one that thumbs its nose at the law and cuts corners to try to put a larger part of the fee in their own pocket.
As to Alan, or ttt, he is a longtime Tugger who is clearly a committed timesharer and has posted on a wide variety of timeshare matters, and I respect him, even if I regret that his former sideline business may have strayed from legal requirements. My gut feeling was always that Alan was a sincere guy whose sideline was mainly trying to help out fellow timesharers, rather than someone just out to make a buck by deviating from the law at times. I do not get the same gut feeling about Lisa, as I have not seen the range of posts like I did with Alan. Also, I find the audacity of calling her business ''ReadyLegal'' when she is not a lawyer and in many states is operating in violation of the law to be appalling.
Personally, I prefer the approach of educating timesharers about what is legal or not, and that is why I have kept asking about the sticky. Fully informed timesharers can then know if the state their timeshare is in allows what the jacklegs are providing or not. Often a qualified professional only charges a few more dollars that the jackleg, and you know you will get it right from the professional. Of course, there is also the temptation to generate complaints to the appropriate legal authorities so that they will come down like a ton of bricks on the scofflaws. I don't mean to single out Lisa, because there are many scofflaws working in the timeshare closing industry.
BTW, Dave's source is a title company, and they are not likely to spin things in favor of lawyers, as those companies are always trying to move in themselves on what lawyers do, so if anything their analysis is going to be tilted in favor of non-lawyers doing as much as possible. While Dave might not be a lawyer, he has a much better grasp of the law than what I have seen in your posts.
First of all, you never disclosed the source of your notes, and I'm not a mind reader. [Regardless of the source - they are still rough notes, with several contradictions - feel free to post them - no one is stopping you.]
Secondly, I find it ironic that you insist that everyone must use an attorney (even in the 69% of states where is isn't required) but on the other hand, you claim to be qualified to interpret timeshare law yourself - but you aren't an attorney.
I have tried to keep this thread, and the other threads on this topic focused on the facts, but over and over again, you feel the need to make it personal. I find your attacks on other TUG members to be distasteful, and offensive, and I would never do business with you.
That's just my personal opinion - and not as a representative of TUG.
