The Reverse Mortgage Agreement is a specialized financial instrument used in the Philippines when elderly homeowners wish to convert their home equity into accessible funds while continuing to live in their property. This document is essential when establishing a reverse mortgage arrangement, particularly for seniors who want to supplement their retirement income without selling their home or making monthly loan payments. The agreement must comply with Philippine banking regulations, property laws, and consumer protection standards, including requirements set by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. It covers crucial elements such as loan terms, property obligations, borrower rights, default provisions, and repayment conditions, typically triggered by the borrower's death, permanent move-out, or property sale. The document is structured to protect both the lender's security interest and the borrower's rights, with special consideration for the unique aspects of reverse mortgages in the Philippine context.
