I assumed a Westgate Village timeshare when my parents passed. They were told on purchase (February 1991) that they need to pass it to their children in probate. We didn't know we had any choice to refuse the inheritance until recently, otherwise we would have done so. My dad paid off the loan soon after he purchased it and the maintenance fees have always been paid on time. We've used it twice and can't afford the yearly maintenance fees. We can't even give it away. I called Westgate's Legacy Program and was told we could submit our account for review and if we qualify and pay $3,000 upfront, they would release us. Also, it would take about 45 days from the date we pay our money. I don't know how we're going to handle that amount of money. That's outrageous and close to 3 years of maintenance fees! Also, what guarantee do we have that they would release us. I don't even know if I can trust them.
