Overall Rating:  Be the first to rate it. | Ardeth, in the context of a reverse mortgage, any home equity debt, that includes home equity lines of credit and/or mortgages, must be paid off with the reverse mortgage proceeds. If the proceeds from the reverse mortgage are not sufficent to payoff the home equity loan or loans then personal funds can be used to make up the difference. Thanks for your question.

Overall Rating: Be the first to rate it. | Hi Ardeth,
Yes, a home equity loan must be paid off with the proceeds of a reverse mortgage. Any existing property loans & liens must be paid at the closing of the reverse loan so the reverse will be a first mortgage on the home.
If you have additional questions email back.
