When you take out a mortgage, you are purchasing the house right then and there. A lease purchase is when you begin by renting out the house, but are also given the option to purchase it within a given period of time.

What company could you use to refinance your house from reverse mortgage?

Sorry we do not understand what you are asking. A bank lends money to finance your purchase of a house - the loan made is secured on the house and is called a mortgage. While the mortgage is not paid off the bank actually own the house and you can not raise more money secured against it without the bank's permission. There is no such thing as a "reverse mortgage".


What if the estates debt is a mortgage?

The executor of the estate has the option of continuing to pay the mortgage and thereby continuing to own the property (which is presumably a house) or selling it. When you sell a house that has a mortgage, some of the purchase price will go to you, based on your equity in the house, and some will go to pay off the mortgage. If there is little equity in the house, or if the housing market is very depressed, you may realize little or no profit on the sale of the house, but you won't have to continue paying the mortgage.
