QUESTION:

Reverse Mortgage different ages

On a reverse mortgage through FHA, if One party on the house (which is paid off) is 88 and the son is only 50 can you still get a reverse mortgage and are there payments? If this would not work, what options are there to get money from the house to pay off debt besides mortgaging it?

Very interesting question.

Unfortunately, I think that all parties on the mortgage must be over 62 to qualify for a Reverse Mortgage.

There are though other options:
-- Home Equity Loan
-- Home Equity Conversion
-- Downsizing to a less expensive residence

If your son's name is not on the home title then it wouldn't have an impact on your ability to secure a reverse mortgage.
