Hello,

I'm thinking about buying a timeshare and was wondering how I or any buyer on the secondary market is sure that when I make the purchase the mortgage is clear and that the maintenance fees are paid. I've looked at a lot of the posts in this timeshare forum and there is a lot of talk about the no closing costs and the attorney Timeshare Adventures has to perform the closing, but what exactly is done to guarantee that when I buy a timeshare it will not have past due maintenance fees, mortgage(?), lien, etc...?

Thanks,
K.M.
