Avoiding Foreclosure of a Reverse Mortgage
|
|
By Attorney David A. Myers
A reverse mortgage can be an excellent tool for some older adults. It allows borrowing from the equity in one's home to supplement one's living needs, it requires no repayment until the homeowner either dies or moves out, and it limits the repayment obligation to the proceeds of the home sale (i.e., no personal repayment responsibility if sale proceeds are insufficient to retire the debt). If the owner moves out, he must notify the lender within two months. If the move is due to mental or physical illness, then the absence must generally extend to twelve months before a "default" occurs.
