Will I still be able to pass my house to my heirs in reverse mortgage?

Like many others, I am hurting for cash during these rough economic times. I am basically living off of my pension right now but my income is far too meager to offset my debt. I owe a great deal of credit card and medical debt that I would like to take care of. I am thinking about reverse mortgage but still want to ensure that my family inherits my house when I pass along. Will I still be able to pass my house to my heirs in reverse mortgage?

Yes, you still will be able to leave your home to your heirs. After getting a reverse mortgage, the home is still yours to do with, and will to, as you wish. When you pass, what will happen is that your estate, along with your home, will be passed to your heirs, and they will be able to decide how to repay your loan. They will have the option to sell the home, take out a traditional mortgage, or to refinance the home.

For many people it is important that you include your family in your decision regarding a reverse mortgage. I would suggest contacting one of our Professionals, and they will be able to answer all of your questions and the questions of your family.
