A Reverse Mortgage is a loan available to anyone who is 62 years of age or older, owns their own home and has equity in their home. The mortgage proceeds can be disbursed in a lump sum or in multiple disbursements (ex. borrower receives equal monthly disbursements for a period of months as selected by the borrower).
No repayment is required under a Reverse Mortgage as long as the borrower(s) live in the home as their principal residence. When the last surviving borrower dies, sells the home or permanently moves away, the full loan balance becomes due and payable.
Everyone’s situation is different. The best way to determine whether a Reverse Mortgage is right for your elderly parents is to speak directly with one of our Reverse Mortgage Specialists.
