I have been drawing on my reverse mortgage for home improvements. Now I have$50000 in inheritance. I want to put it back.

There shouldn't be a penalty to put it back. Just be sure there are no more improvements you need to make and remember having an emergency fund is also very important.

It's no recommended to repay your reverse mortgage unless you are planning to sell in the near future, I recommend that you keep your savings for emergencies or to pay Your real estate taxes and insurance

There is no pre-pay penalty when submitting money back into the reverse mortgage balance. When you pay any money into the reverse mortgage balance, the funds go towards the mortgage interest and accrued interest amounts. Then if the mortgage interest and accrued interest amounts have been paid, the servicer will then apply any money paid in to the principal balance. What is your main reason for wanting to pay back the reverse mortgage balance? How much longer do you plan to stay in the home? Talking with more than one financial planner can provide you some very helpful information. You need to make sure the taxes and insurance will be covered as long as you live In the home. Also keep some of the funds to help maintain the home for emergency repairs.
