[Q=carvana] "Anytime you sign a contract for anything you buy (house, car, boat, motorhome etc) then you are obligated to pay any fees regarding such." Over the years I have purchased houses, cars, and boats for cash and I have never ever been obligated to pay maintenance fees for any of these purchases. A purchase of a deeded timeshare for cash is unlike the purchase of any of the afore mentioned assets. The difference between a personal obligation and one that runs with the land is a legal concept that is difficult to explain to a non-attorney but it is significant and I suggest anyone faced with the problem described by ramsonw seek advice from a board certified real estate attorney to review his/her options.[/Q] When purchasing any timeshare (either developer or resale) it is part and parcel that you pay yearly maintenance fees until the timeshare is out of your name.
