Estate Planning and HECM
When we think about the future, we often imagine what we will do in our retirement, what trips we will take and what activities we will immerse ourselves in. What’s less fun to think about is planning for what happens as we continue to age and how we will invest in our future as the decades go by.

Things to know about Reverse Mortgages:
- At the conclusion of a reverse mortgage, the borrower must repay the loan and may have to sell the home or repay the loan from other proceeds
- Charges will be assessed with the loan, including an origination fee, closing costs, mortgage insurance premiums, and servicing fees
- The loan balance grows over time and interest is charged on the outstanding balance
- The borrower remains responsible for property taxes, hazard insurance, and home maintenance, and failure to pay these amounts may result in the loss of the home
- Interest on a reverse mortgage is not tax-deductible until the borrower makes partial or full re-payment
