Original Thornton Properties

Thornton founding families often remained in their 1950s-60s homes for decades. Many used reverse mortgages for retirement income. Now their heirs must navigate HECM payoff while dealing with the emotional aspects of inheritance.

Reverse Mortgage Heir Process

Notify the Servicer

The loan servicer must be notified of the borrower death. They will provide payoff information and establish timelines for heirs to satisfy the loan.

Assess Your Options

Heirs can sell, refinance to keep, or walk away (if underwater). We help you understand which option makes most sense for your situation.

Fast Closing Available

Our 7-14 day closing means you can resolve the HECM quickly. No need to stress about lender deadlines or foreclosure threats.
