Two decades of five-star relationships.

I have worked with HCS Equity for years. I appreciate their conservative approach to appraisals and debt to equity ratios. Their results (yield and principal protection) speak for themselves. In addition, their client services and responsiveness to questions are always prompt and helpful.

I had the opportunity to work with Ben Heilig at HCS Equity on a recent private loan transaction, it was an excellent experience from start to finish. Ben was strategic in his approach with my challenging client scenario and kept my client and I informed throughout the entire process. I truly appreciated Ben’s partnership and can’t wait to work with him again.

how reverse mortgage payoff loans help

Paying off a Reverse Mortgage after death.

One of the most common reasons for a reverse mortgage payoff loan is the death of the original homeowner. In many cases, heirs or family members only discover the reverse mortgage after the homeowner has passed away. If the reverse mortgage has been called due, the probate estate or trust may need to satisfy the reverse mortgage within a limited timeframe, requiring the authorized representative to arrange repayment or replacement financing prior to distributing the asset out of the trust or probate estate.


A reverse mortgage payoff loan from HCS Equity can provide short-term capital secured by the property. This gives the trust or probate estate additional time to complete administration, prepare the property for sale, refinance into permanent financing after distribution, or determine the appropriate disposition of the property.

A reverse mortgage is required to be repaid after the death of the borrower, co-borrower, or eligible non-borrowing spouse. The successor trustee, executor, administrator, or other authorized representative should contact the reverse mortgage servicer as early as possible to confirm the payoff amount, applicable timelines, and available options.
