Inheriting a timeshare... (by KC):

This is very good and absolutely correct input. The only way offspring can ever be obligated to accept the obligations of timeshare ownership from their parents is if the parents (very unwisely) put their children's name(s) on the deed, essentially making them co-owners (a very bad idea for a number of reasons). Unless the offspring names are on the deed, the offspring can simply "disclaim" any such inheritance when that time comes.
