IRS to help homeowners refinance or sell homes - Yahoo! News: "WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Service said Tuesday it will try to make it easier for homeowners in financial straits to refinance or sell their homes.
The plan announced by IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman would speed up a process where financially distressed homeowners may request that a federal tax lien be made secondary to liens by the lending institution that is refinancing or restructuring a loan.
Taxpayers will also be able to ask the IRS to discharge, or remove, its claim to a property in certain circumstances where the property is being sold for less than the amount of the mortgage lien."

Sounds like a good idea.

For seniors who have equity in their home and who are 61+ years old, a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage is a great tool to use when your current financial condition is less than desireable. You pay off any lein attachments, including mortgages, you do not create a monthly installment payment obligation, credit and income worthiness is not an issue, you continue to own your home, live in it as long as you want and you have a federal guarantee that the promises of the mortgage note will be fully carried out.
