The “Gray Divorce” Settlement and 
The Reverse Mortgage

There have been  an increasing number of the so called “Gray Divorce” between Senior Spouses.

 Seniors in the process of a Divorce Settlement should take a look at the Reverse Mortgage. Th Spouse retaining the Home could do a Reverse Mortgage, Liquidate the current mortgage or give funds for the other spouse


Now, for the More Affluent Homeowner, there is a new Proprietary Reverse Mortgage for properties up to a maximum Loan Amount $4,000,000, it will open the possibilities to the more affluent Homeowners from 55 years of age or older. (conditions apply).
 available for Owner Occupied, for Refinance 1 to 4 families Residences and NOW CONDOS (conditions apply). For Purchase 1 to 2 families Residences including approved CONDOS.

One of the biggest hurdles the couple faces is what to do with the home they have shared for so many years. You know the alternatives.

 If one of the Homeowner that wants to keep the home, qualifies, there is enough equity, and both parties agree, refinancing with a Reverse Mortgage might provide a wise, viable financial solution.

 As agreed, Spouse A and Spouse B and get a Decree and Property Settlement where Spouse A would do a Reverse Mortgage (if they qualify) and Pay Spouse B the agreed amount at closing. Divorce must occur prior to closing. The proceeds could:

1) Pay off the outstanding balance on the mortgage, and/or

2) Give the Homeowners funds to be distributed as per the Divorce Agreement.

 Spouse A would keep the home in his/her name only, without having to make any monthly Principal and Interest mortgage payments (only property taxes, insurance and any property charges and maintain it in good condition) for as long as he/she lived the home as primary residence.

Spouse B would have cash available to get on with their life, and removed from title would have no further liability for the home or the debt.
