An elderly past client of mine has a life estate on her home. After she dies, the property will go to her son. She wanted to take out a reverse mortgage to help with expenses. Can she do it? No. To obtain a senior citizen reverse mortgage, the homeowner must be 62 or older (which she is) and hold fee-simple absolute title. A life estate does not qualify.
