SUMMARY:A Community Conversation About Home Equity\, Aging in Place\, Estate Planning and Reverse Mortgages
DESCRIPTION:Love Where You Live. Plan For What's Next\n\n\n\nReverse Mortgages: What They Are   and What They Aren't: A Community Conversation About Home Equity\, Aging in Place & Estate Planning\n\nReverse mortgages are often misunderstood\, and many homeowners and their families have questions about how they work\, what they cost\, how they affect home equity\, and what happens to the property in the future.\n\nThis program is intended to be a straightforward\, educational community conversation   not a sales presentation. We'll talk about how reverse mortgages work\, common misconceptions\, homeowner responsibilities\, alternatives\, and the estate-planning considerations families should understand before making any decisions.\n\nThe discussion will also address questions such as:\n\n \n\n\n	Does the bank own your home?\n	Who qualifies for a reverse mortgage?\n	How can the proceeds be used?\n	What happens to the loan balance over time?\n	What happens when the homeowner sells the property or passes away?\n	Can children or other heirs still inherit the home?\n	What responsibilities does the homeowner continue to have?\n	What alternatives should homeowners consider?\n	When might a reverse mortgage make sense   and when might it not?\n\n\nAbout the Panel:\n\nAmy Connors   Moderator / Real Estate Attorney\n\nAmy Connors is a Massachusetts real estate attorney whose practice focuses on residential real estate transactions and helping clients navigate the legal and practical issues surrounding homeownership.
