What happens if I die while receiving payment from a reverse mortgage?

Is this something that will continue on to my children, or will the payments stop?

If you should pass away with a reverse mortgage, and there is no other home owner listed on the title of your property, your loan will become due. Your payments will not continue to your children, they will stop and this signals your loan is now due to be paid back. There won't be any pressure for your heirs to act immediately, they have up to six months to decide how they will repay the loan. Their choices are to sell the property, take out a traditional mortgage, or find the money by other means to cover your loan. Once the original loan amount plus interest and fees is paid back, all the remaining equity will go to your heirs, on a tax-free basis.
