Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

8 years ago my former in laws quit claim deeded their Volusia county Florida timeshare

to my exhusband. I did not attend the signing since I did not want the timeshare. We divorced shortly after. Now, after seven years, the timeshare management office and a collections agency are calling me stating my ex hasn't paid anything in seven years, and apparently, they listed my name on the document w/o my consent, and I am now being held responsible. Wha do I do?

Advise them it was done without your knowledge and consent, you did not accept this, never used it, never signed anything, are divorced and not responsible for his debt. Good luck.

Unless you signed something, you cannot be held legally responsible. Advise them you have no interest and accepted no responsibility for this debt. If that does not work, contact an attorney to advise them of that in writing and advising them to stop contacting you. If they don't stop, they may be responsible for violations of debt collections which would give you a cause of action against them.
