Avoiding Foreclosure of a Reverse
  Mortgage

Dave 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.

 

What can be done to avoid foreclosure after default?

The other gamers can live down the street, in a neighboring county, somewhere in another state, and even in other countries. Given that, how many of us intimately know or even casually know the people with whom we are playing games?
