Did you know that you can use proceeds from a reverse mortgage to fund a long-term care annuity? When coupled with a life insurance policy it is possible to somewhat "have your cake and eat it too."
In simplest terms it works like this - - a long-term care annuity is lump-sum funded and is coupled with a life insurance policy that is also lump-sum funded. If one outlives the payout period of the annuity, the bundled life insurance can pre-pay - - continuing to pay for long-term care expenses. Whatever amount is left from the life insurance pre-payment, the beneficiaries can then use to pay down the accumulated reverse mortgage balance and it may be enough (if properly sized) to fully pay it off. By this means the senior citizen has first been relieved from a mortgage payment and perhaps gained expendable funds and or some lifetime income, enjoyed the benefits of a long-term care annuity and then had the balance of remaining life-insurance pay off part or possibly all of the accumulated balance of the reverse mortgage that was used to fund long-term care annuity and life insurance.
The net result is that qualified seniors with suitable assets can enjoy the benefits of utilizing working capital without leaving heirs with an accumulated debt from either the cost of long-term care or the accumulated debt of a reverse mortgage. Essentially an asset protection plan.
