Once the estate is settled there is nothing for anyone to get money from. By the time a timeshare would learn that the owners are deceased most estates would be long settled besides the time and expense an HOA would have to spend tracking down the estate and filing legal papers. It's not cost effective. No one can force an heir to take ownership and responsibility. If the owner dies just let it go into default. There is no law that says you have to notify the HOA that the owner has died.

You are correct that heirs are not forced into taking ownership of a timeshare, but the estate is responsible until all debts are settled. It would be in the best interest of the executor to notify the resort of the death of the owner and to ask what obligations the estate is responsible for.
