How does a Reverse mortgage work:

The most widespread Reverse Mortgage is a HUD insured home equity loan or HECM (Home Equity Conversion Mortgage) that a home owner who is 62 or older in age, does not have to pay back until they pass away, switch from their home or not honor loan requirements such as not paying taxes or retaining the home. It was constructed in a way to offer the debtor with a limited percentage (45-80% depending on age) of their home's value and safeguard the debtor's possession interest in the home. The amount of money that they have access to is based on age, home value and the rates for the version they choose, no matter if monthly adjusting, annual adjusting or fixed. The home owner holds ownership of the home for as long as they live in the home and can use the proceeds for anything they desire and will never owe more than the home's value if they were to sell before they die. Additionally, the family or the state of the debtor will never owe more than the home's current market value once the last remaining debtor dies. A reverse mortgage is a monetary tool and a way to turn an illiquid asset (the home) into liquidity (cash).

Pay back reverse mortgage:

The Reverse mortgage must have to be repaid:
  • When the death of the last remaining home owner.
  • When the home is about the sale.
  • If taxes and insurance are not maintained regularly.
  • If the home is not properly maintained.
  • If the home owner becoming a bankrupt.
  • Desertion of the home.
  • If the loan was found to have been guaranteed based on counterfeit terms and conditions.

It is also possible:
  • If Home owner gave a part of the home rent for earnings.
  • If Home owner's zoning/housing code changes.
  • If there is further debt obtained out towards the home.
  • If Home owner added a new owner without any discussion withlenders.

Procedure to cancel a loan:

As the application procedure is taking place, the home owner can cancel the loan at any moment and even up to 3 days after the concluding of the loan during a revocation time period only by letter or fax. Once the 3 days have passed, the loan can't be terminated. Nevertheless the loan can be paid back at any time with no charges or fees.

I may create another article about Reverse Mortgage in few days. But That will be just a summery of these two or some more logical information from the Internet sources.
Till then, Happy Ramadan.
