Can someone continue to live in a house that has a reverse mortgage after the legal owner is deceased?

Randall C. Romei
Answered by attorney Randall C. Romei (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Ashcraft & Ashcraft, Ltd.
Every reverse mortgage has a provision that the residence that secures the loan must be sold when the borrower no longer resides in the residence. This means that the house must be sold when the borrower dies. Every year the borrower receives an affidavit requiring a sworn response by the borrower that the borrower resides in the property. Failure to respond to the affidavit triggers an investigation and ultimately will result in the forced sale of the home.

Will I need to remove house from Trustee?

Richard Samuel Price
Answered by attorney Richard Samuel Price (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Price Law Firm, APC
There are lenders that will lend on a house that is in the name of a trust.  If you want to take title in your own name and you are also a beneficiary of the trust, then you can transfer the property into your own name for purposes of refinancing and then transfer it back into the trust.  You should have already recorded an affidavit of death of trustee.

If a will was left to 3 brothers to equally share property and a home and 2 have deceased, does the remaining brother get all shares?

David L. Leon
Answered by attorney David L. Leon
Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
I would have to read the will before I can answer. In most cases, the deceased brothers' heirs would collect the deceased brothers' shares.
