"I like this to be discussed in a family conference to ensure the kids understand what is happening. Incidentally, if the kids object to their parents living a better life in favour of a bigger inheritance, that also gets me really cranky." - Paul Clitheroe the founder of Money magazine.
The importance of family involvement cannot be understated. Your choice's can affect others, and if family are dependent on you then communicating your situation with them is key when considering a reverse mortgage.
Your children want what is best for you, and seeing you in a poor financial position and not seeking help is incredibly difficult for them, just as much as it is you.
We always encourage family to be involved in any financial conversations that we hold.
