If you have lived in your home for three years now without reaffirming your mortgage does your lender have any recourse if you walk away from this home?

Generally, no. If the debt was not reaffirmed, then the lender usually can only seek their judgment against the real estate (called an "in rem" judgment) by selling it, but if it does not sell for enough to pay the mortgage, they cannot come after you (with an "in personam" judgment) since the debt was not reaffirmed. However, if you dismantle the house, or trash the house, or something like that, then I would not be so confident there would not potentially be repercussions.

A reverse mortgage can be paid off either by selling the home and using sales proceeds, refinancing the home, or doing a streamline reverse mortgage to a new reverse mortgage program.

If the homeowner has passed away, the heirs have 6 months to refinance the home, sell it, or decide to turn over the home to the lender.
