Could Reverse Mortgages Streamline Gray Divorces?
A gray divorce is classified as a divorce for couples who are over the age of 50. A report claims that the number gray divorces are increasing and the reverse mortgage industry could help streamline them.
"For some, a divorce can result in a reverse mortgage to find some kind of supplemental financing in retirement, shoring up the loss of one person’s household income," according to Reverse Mortgage Daily. "For others, a reverse mortgage has the potential to provide payment to a displaced former spouse, but no matter who it affects, divorce is a universally disruptive occurrence for any couple that experiences it."
Some reverse mortgage professionals see potential business when it comes to gray divorces. Taking up a reverse mortgage could aid those who are struggling to get by without the income from their spouses.
"This can naturally lead to a conversation between originator and client about how costs of living are on the rise across the country, and the necessity this often creates for additional income," according to RMD.
