Justification
A manufactured home owner tried to go to his bank to obtain a reverse mortgage and was denied. The bank informed the owner that because the manufactured home has a title through the Department of Motor Vehicles, not a Deed, they would be unable to provide him with a reverse mortgage. This bill would change the current law that manufac- tured homes get titles. Although the home is manufactured, it is unable to be moved and the owner, therefore, should receive a deed for the home, not a title.
