Frequently Asked Questions
What are the eligibility requirements for a reverse mortgage in Benicia California?
You must be at least 62 years old and own your home outright or have a low mortgage balance. The home must be your primary residence and meet FHA property standards. California also requires you to attend a counseling session with a HUD-approved counselor before you can apply.
How does California law affect reverse mortgage proceeds?
California law treats reverse mortgage proceeds as loan advances, not income, so they are generally tax-free. However, they may affect eligibility for means-tested benefits like Medi-Cal or Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Borrowers should consult a financial advisor to understand the impact on their specific situation.
Can a reverse mortgage be foreclosed in California?
Yes, if you fail to pay property taxes, homeowners insurance, or maintain the home, the lender can initiate foreclosure. California has a non-judicial foreclosure process that can be faster than judicial states. Borrowers have a right to cure the default within a specific timeframe, typically 30 days, before foreclosure proceeds.
