Hi Diana, I would first ask your accountant if you use one to get his/her opinion on this matter, if not, I would seek an attorney who is familiar with Reverse Mortgages, These mortgages are not cut and dry like conventional lending. They are quite complicated in fact.
Steven has given you some good advice. Follow his lead.
Thanks for reaching out, Diana. It looks like two of our top guys, Steven and Jericho have given you some good feedback. However if you have other questions for Lender411 staff do not hesitate to email me! stevie@lender411.com.

Contact the servicer for your current reverse mortgage for the most accurate pay off amount. The servicer will also help you through all the paperwork, because they process this request on a regular basis. One can also at anytime pay off just a portion and keep the account open. Just in case you need to tap into the money in the future, especially if you originally had a line of credit program. There is no pre-pay penalty.
