In Virginia can a reverse mortgage company force the estate to make up the difference between what is owed and value of house

The great thing about a reverse mortgage is that you get the best of both worlds.. if there is equity, it's the estates to keep if they payoff the balance or sell the property.. if there is a deficit then the estate is not liable.. you simply contact HUD and hand the keys over.

NO. The way Reverse mortgages were designed is to allow the estate to not be responsible for any deficiency that may occur. If the home is worth less than what is owed, then the estate can return the home to the bank and the Mortgage Insurance that was built into the loan takes care of any shortage. However, if you want to keep the home, you would have to negotiate with FHA to purchase it from them after the foreclosure. ~ Bert Carpenter, The LoansA2z team of NOVA Home Loans ~ NMLS 40586 ~ Licensed in Arizona (AZLO0911876 / AZBK0902429), Washington (WALO40586 / WACL3087) and California (CADOC40586 / CAFLL6036566).
