Someone in your family may be in this situation and you may want to help them. Before you decide to help you should be aware of the risks involved – especially if your home is all you have.

If they don’t keep up with the loan repayments the lender has the legal right to take your home you own and sell it to pay off the debt. If the value of your home doesn’t cover the loan the lender can also take other property you may own. * If the bank doesn’t consider them a good credit risk neither should you. * Don’t rely on your child or a bank representative to explain to you what it will mean for you if you sign any document. It is important to get independent legal advice before you make any decisions to help a family member financially when your home is your only asset. If you take out a reverse mortgage you will only have to pay back the loan when you die or sell your home. However you could find that there is too little equ...
