There are two common selling challenges faced by the families after the person leaves Askthe home. Dr.Jeanette First of all, the ! family has an option to KEEP the home, but within the first 3 months, the reverse mortgage lender wants to know their intentions as to how the loan will be repaid. However, the mortgage lender will sometimes grant additional extensions which can extend up to 12 months, depending on the circumstances, if the family is communicating and trying to repay the debt. The debt can be paid by sale of the property, refinance or cash. Another common selling challenge is, you cannot transfer any portion of the title to your home to anyone other than the person who originally qualified for the loan. That being said, the reverse mortgage guideline will allow you to transfer title to your living trust. Because the title is held in a deceased person’s name solely, the family is faced with paying extra cost to Probate the estate. If the surviving spouse is 62 or older and not on the loan, there may be options available.

Most important, the family must communicate timely with the reverse mortgage lender, therefore this will avoid premature start foreclosure proceedings from being started. Their goal is to get the loan paid in full as soon as possible, not to take the home away from your heirs. Reverse Mortgage lenders only want the balance that is owed and the remaining equity/ proceeds, if any, goes to you or your beneficiaries.
