Frequently Asked Questions
What are the age requirements for a reverse mortgage in Wakefield Massachusetts?
Borrowers must be at least 62 years old. All homeowners listed on the title must meet this age requirement. Massachusetts law does not provide any exceptions to this federal HECM rule.
Do I need counseling before getting a reverse mortgage in Massachusetts?
Yes. Massachusetts requires all borrowers to complete a counseling session with a HUD-approved counselor before applying. This session covers loan terms, costs, and alternatives. The counselor must be independent from the lender.
How does a reverse mortgage affect my Massachusetts homestead exemption?
A reverse mortgage does not automatically remove your Massachusetts homestead protection. However the loan becomes a lien on the property. You should discuss homestead implications with a specialist to understand how the loan interacts with state exemptions.
