There already are good answers here to your question. However, you may want to know, even with a late mortgage payment, it is still possible to refinance if you just want to lower their payment by refinancing into a 20 year loan again with interest rate rates very low, or into a 15 year fixed with even lower interest. Refinancing into a 20 year fixed from what sounds like currently a 20 yr fixed loan and at a much lower loan amount now, could decrease monthly payments substantially.

There's just too much info missing to properly advise you.. Reverse mortgages are available to borrowers of at lest 62 years of age.. and how much you can get is based on the properties value, how much you owe, and whether you wish to receive cash upfront, monthly or a combination of the two..
