Please let me know if this is correct: 1. If a parent dies and leaves their child a timeshare, the child does NOT have to accept the timeshare. 2. Whoever is handling the estate must pay any currently due maintenance fees and taxes before the estate can be closed. 3. If the child has not accepted the timeshare and estate is closed, the timeshare company can not force the child to continue paying timeshare fees and taxes. However, you wrote, "Until the timeshare has been sold, given away and out of the decedent's name the estate is still responsible". So is the estate unable to be closed until the timeshare is out of the decedent's name? If so, I would never buy or recommend that anyone buy a timeshare! What a hassel! 4. If the child cannot sell or give the timeshare away, he/she can see if the timeshare company would like to take she timeshare back, but the child is not required to do anything, just the estate. Is that correct? What if the estate has been closed?
