Linda -

Be sure to consider all options. You don't state your mother's age, but with the relatively small home value, existing mortgage payoff and steep reverse mortgage origination costs, this option may not generate much either as a lump sum or monthly payment.

There's lots of online calculators where you can tryout different scenarios. I plugged in for a 75-year old and the best result was $39,000 lump sum or $266/month for life. Of course your mother also gains by getting rid of the existing mortgage payment.

If your mother is at an age or health status that it seems likely she would remain in the home for 7 years or less, a home equity loan or line of credit requiring interest-only payments for 10 years may be preferable. She would avoid the high origination costs but would have to make monthly interest payments that would grow over time. These payments could be made by drawing on the credit line itself

Since she has good equity and is making payments on the remaining mortgage, she should be able to find a lender.

Reverse mortgages can be great tools in many situations, but there are other options that can be more cost-effetive at times. Good luck.

My father died and now the mortgage company states that I am responsible for his loan; even though he is not listed on my birth certificate as my father and I did not know about the processed loan. Also, his girlfriend has at least $12,000.00 of the money because she was on the bank account with him and when he died..she got all of his funds. Am I responsible for this loan? Why or why not?

Can this affect my credit? Do I need an attorney?

Hi,

I feel sorry to hear about your father.

According to me you are not liable to pay any off the unpaid debts that were left behind by your father simply because he is not listed in your birth certificate.

Saying that, I would like to know a couple of things like have your father left any will or deed where it is mentioned that you will pay off his debts after his death. And is his girlfriend the co-owner of the property.

I would also suggest you to contact an attorney immediately.

Thanks,
Jerry

When doing a reverse mortgage, does the owner still make monthly mortgage payments?

Hi Lynn

Welcome to the forums

For reverse mortgage, homeowner doesn't make any payments to lender during the loan. The loan needs to be repaid when the homeowner ceases to occupy the home as a principal residence.

The loan repayment obligation can't exceed the home's value or sales price.

Thanks

Hi,

There is no such repayment scheme required in a reverse mortgage program.
Reverse mortgage need not be paid back as long as the borrower occupies the property as his/her principal residence. Otherwise, it becomes due after the last surviving borrower dies.
