    True, but what are they going to do, evict you? cancel your contract?

    Evict the prostitute I would think

    Having read the Guardian/Observer story, is there any reason why your parents couldn't leave the time share to the owner(s) of the Timeshare scheme, in their will. Obviously don't tell the owner(s) beforehand.

    That way you get rid of the asset and still inherit the rest of your parents legacy.

    Wouldn't work as it would be refused.

    I see but then could it be foisted on the remaining inheritors if it was willed to someone else but refused?

    Have a read of the link to the Tony Hetherington above. The problem is that the executors are responsible for dealing with all debts and liabilities and this liability is forever.

    Ah yes, I see what you mean. Poor OP.

    So the Executors would probably not want to pay out the rest of the bequeaths as they'd want to keep the money to pay this on-going bill "in perpetuity" or until the deceased's estate goes bankrupt.

    Hmm. I wonder what pecking order the Executor has to pay out bequests in. I guess Customs & Excise, HMRC and Utilities first but wonder what happens down the line and where an in perpetuity timeshare annual invoice comes. Is there a precedent from court?

    Has anyone gone to court under an "unfair clause" appeal?

    Find someone near penniless, who will be dying without heirs and leave it to them?
    I am sure the Treasury solicitor with think of a way of not inheriting it.

    Has anyone been threatened by cameron house loch lomand with debt collectors for non payment of maintenance fees? I have stopped paying them as they have gone up too high and we are unable to go any more, they have cancelled our membership but say we still have to pay the fees unless we sell it. Which is impossible! As anyone been through the same thing and what was the outcome?
