Hi Ken, Thanks for your response! You wrote: "That said, deeding a week over to an unknowing recipient without their consent, knowledge and overt acceptance essentially constitutes fraud (which, worthy of note, is actually a criminal offense)." If that is so, isn't it "fraud" when the children of dead timeshare owners are effectively held responsible for the maintenance & taxes of timeshares they inherited, but didn't want? If there aren't funds in the estate to pay the maintenance & taxes forever, what can be done? I'm suprised that someone hasn't started some sort a class activity on behalf of people forced to pay fees and taxes for timeshares they didn't buy, they don't want, they can't afford, they can't sell, they can't give away, and they can only pay to get rid of. Yes, they don't have to accept the timeshare, but it appears they end up being financially responsible for the timeshare until they can get rid of it.
