Quick Answer
When a California reverse mortgage borrower lives well into their 90s or beyond — 15 to 30 years after the loan was established — the outstanding balance may be very large relative to the home's value, but the non-recourse guarantee ensures heirs pay at most 95% of the current appraised value regardless of the accumulated balance.
