All of the individuals listed on the title of a home must be 62 years of age to qualify for a reverse mortgage. So, if the title to your home is in both of your names, you cannot qualify at this time. If a co-owner is under age 62, that individual's name must be removed from the title in order to qualify for a reverse mortgage. For additional information read "Is a Reverse Mortgage Right for You?" at: Is a Reverse Mortgage Right for You?. This publication is a basic introduction to reverse mortgages. It covers how much money can be accessed, qualifications, counseling sessions, providers, costs, advantages, disadvantages, and additional sources of information.
