He's a paid spokesman for infomercials. It's not like the guy is holding your granny's hand to the paper forcing her to sign away home life. Anybody with common sense should know a reverse mortgage is a terrible idea. Then again people are still sending their bank account info over to wealthy Nigerian heirs too so I'm not shocked people fall for this scam. And besides, it's their house, you're not "entitled" to inherit it free and clear. If they want the money for something else, good for them. It's their house/money to begin with.
