During his recent Senate campaign Scott Brown was attacked for being ‘too rich’, with special attention given to the fact that he owns several properties, including an Aruba timeshare. Valuing the timeshare at a whopping $10-$20,000, his opponent alleged that the ownership of multiple properties prevented Scott Brown from being a grass roots candidate.
While most time share owners will not choose to run for office, the ownership of a timeshare can open you up to being a target of more than just political mud slinging. Due to the nature of property records, a timeshare is a property that can be easily tied to its owner and lead someone considering a lawsuit to conclude that if the owner owns multiple properties, he or she is likely a good target for a lawsuit.
