If you’re thinking of transitioning out of Margaritaville Vacation Club ownership, you might be contemplating hiring a timeshare legal expert. But before making a decision, it's important to know that might not be the best solution. Here’s what your timeshare exit attorney won't tell you before you pay the bill.

1. Legal Fees Can Add Up

Before you hire a timeshare attorney, understand the costs associated and evaluate whether or not you are prepared to spend the necessary money. Inquire what all the fees cover and if additional fees will be required — they most likely will be.

2. You Shouldn't Be Paying Upfront

Timeshare attorneys may provide you with a free consultation, but that may only be to lock you into paying expensive fees once the consultation is over. If a timeshare attorney asks you for an up-front fee, run! You should never pay for work before the services are completed. Requiring upfront payment could be a sign of a scam.

3. They Likely Haven't Done This Before

In reality, very few attorneys specialize in timeshare law. Be confident that your timeshare attorney knows everything about your specific issues related to your timeshare ownership. Always ask for a list of references, previous experience, and all relevant qualifications before entering into a contract.

4. There May Be an Easier Option Out There

Using an attorney is not the only option for exiting your Margaritaville Vacation Club timeshare. Before committing to an expensive attorney, explore your options. Start by contacting Wyndham Cares to find out about the choices specifically available to you.
