<prompt> Human: Pretty much the title. My parents, who can spend their money however they like, have bought several Hilton Grand Vacation timeshares and use them to their fullest. Theyre preparing their trust and wills, and want to pass down the equity they have built up in them to us. We just received a huge stack of papers from their lawyers that need to be notarized and returned because they want to now put our names as co-owners, to avoid complications with probate I suppose. While, again, theyre free to do whatever theyd like with their money, were a bit worried that were going to get stuck with a financial albatross as there are required annual fees and all sorts of fees for use of these timeshares. And its incredibly not clear to me that the equity that they have supposedly built up can be realized is there a viable resale market for these timeshares or am Im going to also do high-pressure sales meetings to prospective buyers :p . Anybody have more experience with these Time Shares Hilton Grand Vacation? Is it legitimate? What are the financial considerations involved?  <response>: I went on Ebay, looked at Sold listings for these properties. I dont think itd even be worth the hassle to try to get out of this timeshare. They are terrible ways to tie up money, waste time, and spend even more money to be locked in on where and when you can vacationThere is not really equity in a timeshare like there is a traditional real estate purchase. Personally, Id avoid it at all cost.
