[WSBAPT] Probate Creditor Worldmark Timeshare

[Jared E. Adams]

Hello All,

I am representing a probate estate with a Wordmark timeshare interest. Decedent was a single person, and the PR is one of the kids.

PR was told by Worldmark at the beginning of the probate to do nothing and the timeshare interest would simply go away.  To be safe, I mailed a creditor notice to Worldmark and later a notice to Pinnacle Recovery (the collection agency that is now involved). Neither the timeshare nor the collection agency filed a creditor's claim.

My client is now receiving harsh letters from Pinnacle Recovery, even though I wrote them to inform them that the time for creditor's claims has expired.  I was under the impression the interest was merely a membership interest, but the most recent letter from Pinnacle was a deed in lieu of foreclosure offer.

My question is, what's the worst thing that can happen if my client continues to ignore the collection agency?  I am sure others have dealt with this, and I'd love to get the wisdom of the group.

Thanks in advance!

Jared
