Some Frequently Asked Questions:
Will I continue to own my home?
Yes! The ownership of your home by no means is transferred to the bank when you acquire a reverse mortgage. Any reverse mortgage is registered in a similar fashion as a regular mortgage or home line of credit would be. The reverse mortgage is lodged in first position on title, and the funds can be used to payoff your existing mortgage or any outstanding debt on title.
How can I use the funds from a reverse mortgage?
You may use the funds to pay off any mortgage balance you have outstanding or pay daily expenses, including home renovations, medical bills, in-home care, travel or to help a family member with a down payment on their home – The choice is up to you!
Will I need to sell my house if my spouse passes away?
In this case, if both spouses are registered as joint tenants, the surviving spouse can continue receiving all of the benefits of the reverse mortgage and continue living in the home.
Is a home equity loan of line of credit (heloc) a better option?
You will need to qualify via your income for a heloc in most cases with the banks and be required to make mandatory periodic payments. This can be difficult for most retirees to qualify for and maintain. The benefits of a reverse mortgage allow for you to have no payment obligations for as long as you continue to reside in your home. Furthermore, the reverse mortgage product may also be portable in the event you decide to move to a new property.
