Reverse mortgages play a large role with todays senior population, especially with all the media coverage. The older adult is faced with many social and financial decisions. The impact is not merely financial, it is much more complicated. First of all, contact your legal counsel before any decisions are made. Over many years, I have counseled seniors regarding their finances and in the past made reverse mortgages. This is a serious decision. Questions arise! Do I take a reverse mortgage, life estate, or is a charitable gift annuity better? How will my heirs and estate be affected? Should we move into a retirement community or should we sell and downsize to a smaller home? What happens if we both become ill after a few months, how much money have we spent? These are just some of the questions. Click here for a brochure on reverse mortgages from the California Bureau of Real Estate. Please see our financial planning tab for additional financial information. The California Health Advocacy provides free counseling and unbiased information about Medicare and long term care. Investigate before you act to be assured you have made the right decision for your lifestyle and estate.
