My mother owns a reverse mortgage home. My brother (age 62+) has been living in the home for 10+ years. He is not a co-borrower. Mom recently passed away. My brother wishes to exercise some sort of occupancy rights extended to inhabitants who are offspring/heirs and greater than 62 yrs old. We’ve been told this relates to a new rule in effect in CA. Is any part of this a real thing or is it 100% fiction?
