Frequently Asked Questions
What are the eligibility requirements for a reverse mortgage in Rutherford New Jersey?
You must be at least 62 years old, own your home outright or have a low mortgage balance, and live in the property as your primary residence. New Jersey law requires you to attend a HUD-approved counseling session before applying. Your home must also meet FHA property standards.
How does New Jersey law affect reverse mortgage proceeds?
Reverse mortgage proceeds are generally considered loan advances, not income, so they are not subject to New Jersey state income tax. However, you remain responsible for property taxes, homeowners insurance, and home maintenance. New Jersey also has a homestead property tax reimbursement program that may be affected, so consult a specialist.
What happens to a reverse mortgage when the borrower dies in New Jersey?
When the last borrower dies, the loan becomes due. Heirs have the option to repay the loan by selling the home or refinancing. New Jersey law provides a six-month grace period for heirs to decide, with possible extensions. The non-recourse feature ensures heirs never owe more than the home is worth.
