Pretty much the bank is taking the house.

Not the best option IMO for you as you get nothing when the house is sold.

My late Mom had a reverse mortgage. The rules (at that time in New York) said that any previous mortgage had to be paid off in full to be eligible for a reverse mortgage.

I'm confused as to why you can't sell the house?

To receive a reverse mortgage than the house should have been owned outright by your parents.

It would only make sense to let them foreclose or take a deed in lieu of foreclosure if it's underwater -- that is, the balance on the note is more than the house is worth.

That situation is not supposed to happen with a reverse mortgage. They tightly control the amount you can get out of the house.

Hopefully the OP will return & clarify the situation.

I had a reverse mortgage in NJ and the house was not paid off I had a lot of equity so I had no problem getting the reverse mortgage.

The only factual information you will get here is to contact the mortgage holder, everything else is speculation.
