The mortgage in current...
Case Rating: *
If the mortgage is current, it means payments are up to date. In Arizona, you would typically continue making payments to keep the property. If you're not responsible for the deceased's debts, the mortgage remains tied to the property, not personal liability. Do you need information on transferring the mortgage into your name?

Yes - please... I had a major financial situation due to a diagnosis of an imminent terminal illness. I since, after my husband passed, was taken care of by him. The mortgage is a reverse mortgage, set up prior to us being together). I have some time, but will eventually need to change that because my age doesn't qualify me for a reverse.

In Arizona, dealing with a reverse mortgage can be complex, especially with age restrictions. Here are some general points to consider:
- Reverse mortgages typically become due when the borrower passes away or moves out.
- If you're not eligible for a reverse mortgage based on age, exploring refinancing options or selling the property might be necessary.

In my past life, I was a loan officer and I was educated in reverse - in fact, I set the loan up for my husband (at the time we weren't married). I have till the end of the year to sort it out. However, my credit - from my financial demise - went down the toilet and I'm certain I will have a difficult time qualifying for it.

My husband passed the */*/*. I haven't received any sort of notifications about the situation... Should I just keep quiet until they notify me??
Case Rating: *
It's understandable to be concerned about notifications regarding the reverse mortgage. In Arizona, lenders may not immediately notify you, especially if you have until the end of the year to resolve the situation. It's wise to proactively contact them or consult with a housing counselor. Do you have any specific concerns or questions about the property or mortgage process?

I know the mortgage process very thoroughly... I was a licensed mortgage broker (as mentioned) before... My question was will they eventually find out he has passed? Therefore, my concern about contacting them might red flag something

It's likely that the lender will eventually discover your husband's passing due to legal processes and documentation. You might consider consulting a housing counselor or legal expert to explore options without inadvertently flagging issues. Do you have any particular concerns about how this might affect your obligations?
