A reverse mortgage is a financial agreement in which a homeowner relinquishes equity in their home in exchange for regular payments, or a lump sum, typically to supplement retirement income. Unlike traditional mortgages, which decline as you pay down the loan, reverse mortgages rise over time as interest on the loan accrues.
If a homeowner with a reverse mortgage passes away, the mortgage must be paid in full immediately, even if it requires selling the home to pay the reverse mortgage balance.
