What Happens when a REVERSE Mortgage is MAXED OUT to the owners occupancy?
What Happens when a REVERSE Mortgage is MAXED OUT to the owners occupancy?
Situation: Years ago the owner of a property worth $1M and an elderly property owner placed a REVERSE MORTGAGE on their property which when funded allowed her to stay in her home and receive distributions from the lender up to a MAXIMUM sum of $700K.
The owner now has "cannibalized" with this REVERSE MORTGAGE LOAN all of those sums and is NOW maxed out with the $700K being pulled out. The value of the home is worth a little more than that as given its poor upkeep over the years its value receded somewhat. The Owner STILL lives in the home and is alive and thriving. The property taxes are current and insurance is current.
Q- Can the REVERSE Mortgage lender - call their loan due and accelerate their loan now that its MAXED OUT?
Not sure what their rights are as a lender but the owner is fearful that now that she has REACHED the Maximum funding amount the Reverse Mortgage loan would go to - that she may be forced to sell?

As long as the borrower is current with taxes and insurance and continues to live in the home as their primary residence the lender cannot call the loan due. The borrower can continue to live there for as long as they are able.
Even if the value were to decline significantly and the balance of the loan is greater than the value.
The borrower is protected.
