Yes Watson. But the real question is: can the spouse spouse the home after the reverse mortgage dies live?
You would continue making payments to the estate. Eventually, they will give you instructions on what must be done as far as finding another mortgage company or person to get a loan from.
Then the house needs to be sold.
Most lenders will allow you to continue to make the payments as the loan is. Some may modify the loan. As long as you can continue the payments, you will be ok.
No, a person whose name is on the DEED may become the sole owner. The person whose name is on the MORTGAGE may have the priviledge of making the payments! Better contact the lawyer who handled your divorce for some advice.
If the mortgage is in your name it would not be affected by the death of your spouse. Mortgage life insurance is coverage that is taken out so that your house would be paid for in the event of your death.
If a mortgage holder (mortgagee) dies the rights under the mortgage pass to her heirs. If a mortgagor (borrower) dies the mortgage company has a lien on real estate that still must be paid.
if your on the title be prepared to take over the payments.
The answer is when he dies the reverse mortgage company will settle up the loan, so you will have to either sell the house or refinance with a new mortgage.
Generally, the mortgage must be paid or the lender will take possession of the property by foreclosure. You should consult with the attorney who is handling the estate.
Only if you cover that issue when you buy your insurance. It usually costs extra (doesn't everything!) but it insures that the mortgage balance is taken care of
