I second the motion... (by Colvin D.):

I love the homeless person scenario. Let's look at it this way. Drug addiction has made this person homeless. One day he decides he's sick and tired of messing up not only his life, but the people in his life that love him. He goes to the salvation army and starts getting clean.

Move forward 30 days. He is at the library and sees on e-bay where he can buy timeshares for $1. He has saved $5.00 from picking up cans, and he bids on the timeshares and wins. He is excited. So exuberant that he calls his brother who is a very successful doctor. He hasn't talked to him in 10 years. The Dr. is so filled with love for his brother, he wants to see him.

The Dr. goes to the brother and the reunion is breathtaking. He is so thrilled that his "drug-addict" brother is making changes. In conversation, the brother tells about buying the timeshares. He needs money for transfer fees and maintenance fees. The Dr. has a surplus of cash. $10,000 to him is like the $5.00 the "homeless" man used to buy the timeshares from ebay. The Dr. decides to pay all the fees on the timeshares. Not only that, but agrees (with his brother if he stays sober) to pay the fees for the next five years.

At what point did the person who originally listed the timeshares on ebay stop being the owner? If the "homeless" person relapsed after 3 years and the Dr. stopped paying the fees, would the timeshares revert back to the original owner? No, the "homeless" man is responsible.

Again, one buyer of timeshares boast they have bought 40,000 deeds. Must be a way out if a person wants to go that way.
