Re: death and timeshares (by Merrily S.):

My question is this: My parents are both deceased and were owners of a deeded timeshare. Since the deed read "assigns and heirs" it was my understanding I am responsible for Maintenance Fees. My parents died in 1993 and I have been paying MF. I just paid Transfer America a large sum to take this off my hands (donate it) and now it is held up because the title has my parents name on it. The closing dept. is telling me I have to go to Probate Court to have a document transferring it out of my parents name. I didn't think that was necessary since they put it in a living trust. However, I'm not sure if it was done correctly, i.e., they sent the trust document to the management company at that time (it was later taken over by Marriott)--however the deed itself was not retitled. Can anyone tell me what I need to do?
