Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

I did a quick claim deed for a timeshare in FL. Volusia County said when they recorded it I would not be liab. for the maintence fees. Now the timeshare company which is in LV but the timeshare is in Fl said they would not record the new owners unless they are paid $250. They said in their eyes I am still the owner. Am I still liab. I don't have the money for a lawyer or money for main. fees and transfer fees

You need to read your timeshare documents as to what happens when you don't pay. If the penalty for non payment is simply that you lose your interest, then you lose your interest, and you don't care at this point. Tell the buyer to pay the $250. If you have personally guaranteed payments to the timeshare, and they have recourse against you personally, then you care, because they can pursue you and attach your assets. If you don't have documents that give the timeshare the right to go after you for $250, tell the timeshare to send you a copy of the document that gives them this right, (that you signed). If you don't understand your timeshare documents, take them to an attorney who will read them and tell you what you agreed to do when you bought the timeshare.
