Alimony Is Almost Always Granted After
Long Term MarriagesAlimony awarded will vary greatly, but, divorcing seniors should
expect it to be a part of the divorce proceedings.
In New York, for example, the court will generally give alimony for
life,” says Bruce Provda, a divorce attorney in New York City.
“If they’re working, they’re going to pay some alimony,” says Bob
Boyd, a partner with the Atlanta law firm Boyd Collar Nolen &
Tuggle.

Keeping The House Usually Means You Give Up Something Else Dealing with the long term marital residence can be very emotional.
Assuming assets are being split evenly, keeping the house can mean giving up other retirement assets such as stock, bonds, 401K, etc.
Paying a spouse their portion of equity is another strategy, but can come with other issues, such as being able to individually qualify for a new mortgage.
Selling the home is another option.

There are various ways to access equity with payment options, including nothing. •Interest, mortgage insurance and servicing fees (if any) are added to the loan balance. •The loan balance increases over time.

There are multiple scenarios on why you may want to consider a reverse mortgage.
1.Keep the house – refinance to access equity to give spouse their share.
2.Keep the house – pay off current mortgage to be able to afford the home.
3.Sell the house – use proceeds to purchase another home utilizing a reverse mortgage.
Why Consider A Reverse Mortgage?
Dreams Approved Daily®
#1 Keep The House – Give Spouse Their Share Of Equity
•Works when home is owned free and clear or has a small balance.
•Could be a better option than a traditional mortgage or HELOC because there are no monthly payments.
•Could create the ability to retain more in the way of any existing retirement funds.

#3 Sell the house – use proceeds to purchase
another home.
•Works best when home is owned free and clear, has a small
balance or when buying a less expensive home.
•Could provide ability to buy similar quality house.
Rough scenario: $300,000 home owned free and clear.
After fees and commissions to sell the original home, each spouse
might net an estimated $140,000. (The number will vary based on
real estate commissions, title & escrow fees, etc.)
There is the possibility that each spouse could buy around a
$250,000+ home or more, depending upon age(s) and after other
costs, with a reverse mortgage and not have monthly payments.

Who Has Heard Bad Things About Reverse Mortgages?
Myths About Reverse Mortgages
Dreams Approved Daily®
The Bank Owns Your Home FALSE. You own the home. It is just like any other
mortgage where there is a lien against your property. You are on title to the home, not the bank.
Heirs Can Not Inherit The Home
FALSE. When you pass away, the estate gains control of the property. The estate has the option of keeping and refinancing or selling the home. This would be the exact same as if there was a “regular”, or forward, mortgage on the home.
Myths About Reverse Mortgages
Dreams Approved Daily®
You Can Outlive A Reverse Mortgage
FALSE. The balance is not due until the property is sold, interest is transferred, it is vacated for more than 12 months due to illness, the mortgagor passes away and the property is no longer used by an eligible surviving spouse as their primary residence or when terms and conditions of the loan have been violated, i.e. not paying taxes, insurance, assessments, etc.
Social Security and Medicare Will Be Affected
FALSE. Social Security and Medicare will not be affected by a reverse mortgage. However, some programs such as Medicaid or SSSI may be affected. You should consult with a financial advisor to see how a reverse mortgage may affect your eligibility for these programs.
Myths About Reverse Mortgages
Dreams Approved Daily®
You, or Your Estate, Could Owe More Than The
Home is Worth

recourse” loan which means that the lender cannot
pursue the borrower, the estate or the heirs for any
losses associated with the loan balance having
increased past the home’s value.
