Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California
I bought a time share in Las Vegas,NV and no longer can afford to pay. Can they go after my bank account or property.

Maybe, maybe not. You don't provide enough information to answer your question under California law, and to top it off your question is going to be decided under Nevada law, which means we California lawyers cannot answer it.
Mr. McCormick is mistaken about a California attorney being able to advise you about the enforcement of a Nevada debt against a California bank account and California property. Indeed, there are several ways that your California accounts and property may be affected. For example, if a judgment is obtained against you, in Nevada, the California courts will recognize it and, with a few, simple steps, the judgment would be enforceable, in California. You could have your accounts levied, your property sold, wages garnished, and other actions. Even without a judgment, the time share people can send you to collection. That could affect your credit and property rights. Best of all, check with an attorney about your particular situation and stay away from lawyers who simply refuse to answer.
