It looks like the decendents will be lucky if they can get rid of the timeshare without having to pay someone to take it. Why should the decendents have any responsibility at all for a timeshare they didn't purchase and don't want?It seems to me like the timeshare system should be forced to take back timeshares they've sold, when the owners die and decendents don't want the timeshare. What do you think? Do you know if there is any legal action being taken to clarify that decendents, who don't want to inherit a timeshare, are not responsible for future fees and taxes of a timeshare? And that current fees and taxes come out of the estate one time and then the timeshare retu;rns to the company that originally sold it.
Normally we don't nitpick about spelling errors on these boards but it's important that you clarify because you have a glaring spelling error.
You use the "word" "decendents" a few times. Do you mean "descendants" (essentially meaning the children or heirs of the deceased person) or "decedents" (meaning the person who has actually deceased)?
