A few years before retirement, got timeshare. Now, 10 years after retirement 2011, illness list grows. Type 2 diabetic 35 years. Heart stent. Timeshare property will not accept a return of prime week, and keep billing for weeks I cannot attend. How to escape this scam, and big mistake? Diabetic or not, everyone gets more ill, or sickness, or is caregiver. Puts word " forever" on deed.

Thanks. I tried deed back, selling or give away, no luck. Seem stuck, maint. fee pay I stopped at 2020 pandemic year. Need to see attorney. Why can “forever” deed even be legal to start with , real land might be forever and to heirs, but this is not land. Jim
