Question 1

Do I lose ownership of my home with a reverse mortgage?

Accepted Answer

No. You keep the title. The loan is repaid when you sell, move out, or pass away.

Question 2

What happens if I outlive the loan?

Accepted Answer

You can stay as long as the home is your primary residence. The loan doesn't mature until you leave.

Question 3

Can I still leave my home to my heirs?

Yes. Heirs can repay the loan balance and keep the home. They can also sell and keep any remaining equity.

Question 4

Is a reverse mortgage taxable income?

Accepted Answer

Reverse mortgage proceeds are loan advances, not income. They're generally not taxable — confirm with a tax advisor.

Question 5

What if my spouse is under 62?

Non-borrowing spouses under 62 have deferral protections. They can stay in the home if the borrowing spouse passes away.

Question 6

How much can I borrow in Lindsay?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your age, home value, and current interest rates. Older borrowers with more equity generally qualify for more. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.
