>“I once did a 30-year mortgage for a 97-year-old woman,” recalls Michael Becker, branch manager and loan originator at Sierra Pacific Mortgage in Lutherville, Maryland. “She was lucid, understood what she was doing and just wanted to help out a family member [by taking] some cash out of her home, and had the income to qualify and the equity in the home — she owned it free and clear — so she was approved.”

I certainly hope I am not still making payments at that age, but I'm also not sure that its all that uncommon even now with 30 year mortgages and people refinancing or moving and starting over, etc
