I can understand that a lot of people were hesitant if their spouse was under 62 to apply for a Reverse Mortgage.  Many people feared the fact if they pass away what will happen to their spouse. Many questions arise such as: Will my spouse be kicked out of our home when I pass away?  What options will my spouse have?

Reverse Mortgage Age Requirement: 62 and Up Not Required for Spouse

Fortunately, for all of us the FHA has implemented a new guideline that will allow any spouse that is under 62 to be added to the loan as a non-borrowing spouse.

I must say this business has changed greatly throughout the years and this has been one of the best changes that could have happened.  If you were ever contemplating if a reverse mortgage is right for you, well I hope that I have brought your fears to rest.

Here is the link to the new guideline. I hope you enjoy the read! Here is an excerpt:
