How do I designate who will receive my reverse mortgage debt?

If I get a reverse mortgage, who will have to pay off my debts? I have two children, and one is better off than the other. Will he pay it?

The good news is your inheritors will not face any debts due to a reverse mortgage on your property. The money you borrow is the equity you have built up in your home - so it's your money, you have just found a way to access it without selling your home. When the time comes for the loan to be paid back, you will owe the original amount you were approved for, and the accrued interest and fees. In the unlikely event the amount you owe has grown to more than the value of your home, the FHA insurance you have paid on the loan will step in and make up the difference to the lender. This means your children will not face any debts from the reverse mortgage.
