TIMESHARES – BUYERS’ CHILDREN BEWARE?

Can your children be forced to continue paying your timeshare maintenance fees after you die?  It’s an assertion I have heard, but since I’ve never been involved in the administration of an estate where that claim was actually made, I haven’t ever looked at a timeshare contract to see if they make that claim.  My off-the-cuff answer is no, because the beneficiaries of your estate could simply disclaim that “asset.”
I put “asset” in quotes because timeshares in my opinion are a liability, not an asset.  I do know people who have them and love them, however.  I don’t know if their children will share that enthusiasm.
