I assume you are asking about a Reverse Mortgage. In order to get funds from a Reverse Mortgage, all liens (mortgages, equity loans, etc..) must be paid in full.

Most people use part of the proceeds of a Reverse Mortgage to pay off the loans and then use the balance for their retirement needs.

Yes, the Reverse Mortgage will have to pay off the equity line first.
