Fraud has very clear and specific legal meaning...

[Q=emmac27] isn't it "fraud" when the children of dead owners are effectively held responsible for the maintenance & taxes of timeshares they inherited, but didn't want? [/Q] In a single word --- no. In two words, absolutely not. Fraud, by definition, has very specific legal meaning. Fraud involves a knowing, willful overt act of deceit, initiated in an attempt or effort to unlawfully achieve some form of personal or financial gain or advantage.
