You Have Questions… We Have Answers

Under Florida law, you can cancel a timeshare contract the day you receive all the contract documentation or up until midnight on the 10th calendar day after the execution date. The 10-day period is otherwise called a cooling-off period, and it gives the buyer the chance to reconsider the sale. It is against the law to close a timeshare before this period elapses. Also, no one of the involved parties, neither the buyer nor the seller, can’t waive the cooling-off period on their own.

If the contract’s cancellation period has passed, you may need help from a qualified timeshare attorney Florida to help you navigate the cancellation process.

Under California law (CA Business & Professions Code), a purchaser has the right to cancel a timeshare contract up to seven calendar days after the timeshare contract is signed.

In addition, a timeshare company in this state has to obtain a public report issued by the CA Department of Real Estate (DRE) which discloses many important aspects of the timeshare offer. A notice explaining how to cancel the purchase by the buyer also has to be a part of the report. That report must be presented to the prospective buyer along with a receipt to be signed indicating that the buyer has read the report.

The majority of timeshare buyers have the right to rescind the contract within a specific period. U.S. states, as well as some foreign states, typically have laws that make timeshare cancellation possible for at least a few days.

If the cancellation period has passed, it might be a good idea to reach out to an attorney with the necessary knowledge and experience in dealing with timeshare legal matters.

It can take as little as 3 months and as long as 36 months or more for the whole cancellation process to finish. But, it depends on which resort you are contracted with. Other factors include how many contracts you have, whether you have a mortgage or have already paid in full, and various other facts and circumstances that will influence the difficulty and time it takes to free you of your timeshare burden.

Each timeshare cancellation case is unique. Many legal working hours go into careful preparation and aggressive pre-litigation negotiations, so without analyzing your particular situation and paperwork along with the facts and circumstances surrounding your potential case it would be unprofessional and irresponsible to quote a fee.

However, we have a one-time fixed fee affordable solution that in most cases will be a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to keep your timeshare. We are very competitively priced and typically cost even less than non-law firms or marketing companies that are out their brokering lawyers’ services for cancellation.

Timeshare ownership contracts with mortgages tend to make the process of terminating a client’s ownership responsibilities more difficult. It may be necessary to know whether the mortgage is secured by the timeshare our client owns, to who they owe the balance, and how much still has to be paid. However, we can absolutely accept cases that come with a mortgage.

Although selling a timeshare and using the proceeds to pay off the mortgage sounds like a perfect solution, it’s not that simple. It may be challenging to sell a timeshare with a mortgage. Also, the resort may have restrictions on sales. Check your contract and reach out to our lawyer for advice if you don’t understand the terms.

Until evaluating the complete details of your case no one will recommend, including the lawyers at our law firm, that you stop making mortgage or maintenance fee payments. If you stop paying your mortgage or maintenance fees, that can affect your credit, even if your timeshare is not in the United States.

However, once your case is reviewed by a lawyer and the lawyer finds substantial evidence that you have either been defrauded, misrepresentations have been made, contractual duties have been breached, or your consumer rights have been otherwise violated, the lawyer assigned to your case may very well instruct you to cease making any type of payment to your resort developer while your contract is in dispute.

It is extremely rare that a client is required to appear in court.

Typically, no. However, there are certain limited circumstances that may allow for such an arrangement. Speak to an exit consultant to get more details.

No problem! We can take your case as long as it has the required elements for us to properly and successfully represent you, even if you’ve tried to sell your timeshare in the past.
