Reverse Mortgage FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Today’s reverse mortgages are “non-recourse loans.” That means that this is a great way to protect the property of aging homeowners, as the bank can’t foreclose on the property till the owners pass. When they pass, the only amount the bank can take is the amount owed on the mortgage. All remaining equity value is passed to the estate. And, if the surviving estate is capable of paying the amount owed in full, either through another loan or available funds, the property can remain in the family without being sold.
As of today, if the borrower is married, both individuals are included in the underwriting of the reverse mortgage. If the spouse was not 62 years old yet, this guideline prevents the mortgage from being called “due” in the event of the borrower’s death. Now the borrower and spouse can remain on the title.
