Frequently Asked Questions
What happens to a reverse mortgage when the borrower passes away?
The loan usually becomes due. The servicer sends notices with deadlines, and heirs can generally sell the home to pay off the loan.
Can heirs ask for more time?
Yes, heirs can always ask the servicer for more time. Whether an extension is granted depends on several factors, such as whether an extension has already been requested and granted. We help you track deadlines and requests.
What if the home is worth less than the loan balance?
Rules depend on the loan type and change over time. Please confirm with the servicer, a HUD-approved housing counselor or an attorney.
Do you give legal or tax advice?
No. Please consult an attorney or tax professional.
Can I get references?
Yes. We provide a list of client and professional references on request.
