Three Layers of Protection
- Insurance — replacement-cost homeowners + umbrella liability
- Estate planning — a revocable living trust avoids Utah probate
- Equity strategy — don't let equity sit dead; deploy it intentionally
Why Estate Planning Matters Before a Reverse Mortgage
We routinely refer Utah homeowners to Joseph Skousen for trust work before closing a reverse mortgage. A clean trust simplifies the transfer of the home to heirs when the loan is eventually repaid.
