[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I still have trauma from dealing with my parents and this was 25 years ago.  My parents did buy with good intentions - forced vacations bc my dad wouldn't take them without the sunk cost.  Long story but settling my parents estate was a mess (despite their belief the had planned - and they did).  Anyhow, the timeshare was forgotten about until several years after their death. The estate was closed and we assumed they'd gotten rid of it before they passed.  Imagine my surprise to receive a past due bill, addressed to my father only, at my residence - a place he had never lived.  Seems the "deed" was in his name only, he died first. What a mess getting out of that!  Agree with the PSA.[/quote]

What ended up happening? Did you have to pay any fees?[/quote]

So to get into some of the background, but part of the crazy involved me ending up being the executor of my mom's estate bc the attorney who did the estate plan/will for my parents "had never had a client die before and didn't know what to do."  I also had a number of siblings: one living overseas, one in the military, one going through a messy divorce (and thus no head space to deal) and one special needs/institutionalized.  I was the only one in the area the estate needed to be probated in.  Add to that a financial advisor who defrauded my parents (FA was convicted of securities fraud), I had a mess.  The time share was the least of my worries.  Anyhow after attempting numerous ways of getting rid of it, a friend/attorney suggested sending a quit claim deed to the HQ and county that the time share was located in.  They wrote it up for me, I signed and filed...............and never heard another word.  I'm not sure that what I did was actually correct or if the timeshare folks saw that I had an attorney and the government involved and let it go.  I never got another maintenance bill so something worked.  Either that or my dad has a huge past due bill that I'm unaware of.  :)  [/quote]

Ugh, what a mess. My in-laws have lots of timeshare points, and I'm sure will keep them until they pass on.[/quote]
