In any real estate matter, understanding the local market is essential.

You may have seen one of the many television or Internet advertisements regarding "reverse mortgages." These programs are touted as an effective way to obtain money to pay for an aging person's health care or nursing home expenses. Reverse mortgages are often marketed as a smart estate planning solution. Be careful. These advertisements may not be what they seem. Your best course of action is to discuss your real options with an experienced real estate and estate planning lawyer.
