Re: What to do with inherited timeshare points ??? (by R P.):
Carvana, again, we'll just have to agree to disagree. I stand by my statement, however I do recommend that the OP get the advice of a true 'estate' attorney and not simply by what he reads on an timeshare internet forum.
If a debtl from an estate is owed (such as maintenance fee bills) it's just like any other debt that has to be paid before the estate can be closed out. I can't understand why you would think otherwise.
The 'point system' to which he owes the maintenance fees really couldn't care less if the owner is deceased, all they care about is his estate paying the maintenance fees OR selling the points so that someone else pays them.
You always seem to think that just because we're talking timeshares that they are somehow irrelevant when it comes to paying maintenance fees owed to resorts and HOAs. Do you give the same advice concerning car payments, house payments, credit card payment and other debts owed?
If so, I'd like to hire you so I can get out from under all my financial obligations with no repercussions to my credit.
No wonder this country is in a financial mess with the type of advice you give. When an owner defaults on paying maintenanace fees, then it puts that much more of a burden on other owners who have to pick in the slack in the form of higher and higher fees.
We've had this discussion to the point of adnausem. Let the reader choose which to believe.
