Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Illinois
Lifetime Memberships Passed to Heirs?
I own a lifetime camp ground membership which includes an additional ''generation'' (meaning it can be sold or willed one time). The membership is payed off. However, I now pay monthly maintenance fees. When I die, is one of my heirs obligated to pick up this membership and continue paying the maintenance fees? Or can the membership simply be allowed to lapse?

You need to read the terms of your agreement with the campground to determine what happens when you die. I doubt that your heirs are obligated to continue paying the monthly maintenance fee, but it should be spelled out in your agreement.
