How Reverse Mortgages Affect Your Heirs

When a borrower with a reverse mortgage passes away, the loan balance becomes due. Heirs have several options:

  • Repay the loan by refinancing and keep the home.
  • Sell the home to cover the balance.
  • Let the lender sell the property if the balance exceeds the home’s value.

Non-recourse clauses ensure that heirs are not responsible for any shortfall beyond the home’s value.

Case Study:
