Sheri. Check with a lawyer but you had no obligation to continue paying or accept this debt as inheritance

I agree, check with a lawyer, a good lawyer. It may depend on what State you live in. My experience upon inheriting 2 timeshares was, as the inheritor and executor, I was responsible for continuing to pay the fees. I live in Massachusetts, my Mother died in Virginia and the timeshare is in NY. In Virginia I was required to pay a bondsman (along with 3 lawyers, one for each state) to insure I would follow through with the terms of her will. While most everything had been arranged to transfer to me, a few things like the time share did not and became part of probate in Virginia. I was required to file an ancillary probate in NYC and pay real estate taxes to NY. That necessitated paying a huge fee for a company to evaluate the worth of the timeshares, which I knew were worth nothing. They accessed one at $30,000 and the other at $20,000. I gave the cheaper one back to the club for $100, haven't seen the final paperwork or the money, but I was able to write off a loss on the one I gave back. All in all an awful nightmare !...And another lesson on how our system can rape one financially ad infinitum.
