Section 27-32-305 - PurposeThe purposes of this article are to:
(1) recognize that timeshare estates are interests in real property used for vacation experience rather than for homestead purposes and that there are numerous timeshare estates in South Carolina;(2) recognize that the economic health and efficient operation of the vacation ownership industry are in part dependent upon the availability of an efficient and economical process for foreclosure;(3) recognize the need to assist vacation ownership resort owners' associations by simplifying and expediting the process of foreclosure of assessment liens and mortgage liens;(4) reduce court congestion and cost to taxpayers by establishing streamlined procedures for foreclosure of assessment liens and mortgage liens against timeshare estates;(5) establish those streamlined procedures by giving statutory recognition to the right of persons to privately contract for a power of sale as their remedy in lieu of a judicial foreclosure of liens on timeshare estates while specifically limiting the application of such nonjudicial foreclosure procedures to timeshare estates only.2000 Act No. 262, Section 1.
