This is kind of a follow up to my previous post a year ago. I knew losing my dad was a possibility in the near future then, but this is still something I want to solve without paying anything since there were no assets left behind. I have other priorities and this isn't one of them.
My previous post is below. It had some ideas, but now it's time for action. I would ask follow up questions there, but it's already closed. I never got a definitive answer on a specific plan.
As of now, the dues are somewhere above $9k and they don't know my dad passed away. The company doesn't contact me other than by mail (I think they called a few years ago), and I have never seen the contract (I asked for it once but never got it) or know what week or weekend he may have had at the resort or any fine details of that nature. I think I just get quarterly or yearly maintenance dues.
I figure I need to send a letter of some sort showing that my dad passed away. I have the certificate of death which I can send them, but was not sure if I need an attorney or what I should do first to start this process. My goal is to spend no money on it.
Any ideas or experience in absolving a timeshare from a family member who passed? Colorado specific seems to be needed. I don't know if a quitclaim can be filed or if anything can be done legally on my part.
Should I request the contract? I want to avoid calling so I don't say anything I'm not legally supposed to as far as my plans and intentions. My dad was an attorney, but I think his friend convinced him to sign up for it.
Some further info. I am not sure if my dad ever paid them anything other than getting the timeshare at first. He had to divest of assets for Medicare/ssi in his 60's and spent his last few years at care facilities with over $400k in medical bills over a few years. If he had an estate, medical bills are where it would go, but it will be covered by government to my knowledge.
Feel free to ask anything else.
Thanks.
