Need to get rid of HGVC timeshare but it's a mess

- I've been reading this group for a few weeks now but I have a mess I can't quite figure out.
- In 1997, my Aunt and Uncle purchased an HGVC timeshare (points, not deeded) at the Seaworld Orlando location.
- My Uncle died three years ago and my Aunt asked one of her brothers-in-law to handle the estate and her finances.
- Her BIL died last month and she asked me to take over her finances for him.
- When I got to looking at the HGVC timeshare, I found that my Aunt hadn't paid her HOA fees in three years and has a balance of $5,073 for HOA and late fees.
- The BIL never removed my Uncle's name from the timeshare so it's still jointly held.
- He tried to sell the timeshare for $2,000 but I think he got no takers because, at the time, my Aunt owed $1,700 for that years HOA fees.
- I found notes and emails showing that the BIL had contacted HGVC Loss Mitigation who told him to email Portfolio Services (pfoliosvc@hgvc.com).
- In March 2025, he emailed Portfolio Services, attaching the form they had sent to him.
- It looks like he never heard back from Portfolio Services (he sent an email 2 months later saying he hasn't heard back from them and I see no other emails from them).
- My Aunt can't pay the $5,073
- I'm assuming that I can't sell the timeshare due to the $5,073 owed.
- I'm assuming that the deedback process won't work because she can't pay the $5,073
- The only other option I see is letting them foreclose on it (she's in Pennsylvania).
- Any suggestions would be appreciated.
 
SeaWorld is a deed with associated points so they own a deed there. If they have not paid MFs for 3 years, I am surprised that they haven't foreclosed on it. I think that I would be tempted to let it foreclose.

It will be very hard to offload and it isn't worth what you owe.

You can try the deed back route again and just say what you said here but I doubt they will respond in a positive way. Doesn't hurt to try though. Read through that sticky in this forum
