Will son to home when reverse mortgage is involved.

Arthur Harold Geffen
Answered by attorney Arthur Harold Geffen (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Dallas Estate Attorney
Depending on the terms of the reverse mortgage will depend what happens when you pass.  Typically these loans have a window for repayment after which the real estate belongs to them.  You might be able to do a TODD or LAdy Bird Deed of your interest, but until you meet with a lawyer who is versed in these areas, I would not recommend this as a DIY project.

How do we get a power of attorney if she had a stroke and cannot sign?

David L. Leon
Answered by attorney David L. Leon
Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
If the stroke affected the mental capacity, such that she can't sign, she cannot execute a power of attorney. You'll need to file for a guardianship. If she still have full mental acuity, but cannot use her hands, you can still get a power of attorney executed.
