I've heard that with a reverse mortgage the lender would own my home. Is this true?

Financial Freedom - Reverse Mortgage FAQ
It's absolutely false. The borrower retains title to the property. The reverse mortgage lender is merely extending a loan to the borrower. Because the homeowners retain title, they remain responsible for the payment of property taxes, insurance, utilities, home maintenance, and other expenses - just as they would with a standard first mortgage or home equity loan.

Financial Freedom - Reverse Mortgage FAQ
No they cannot. And the loan is not due at that time either. In fact, you don't need to repay the loan as long as you or another borrower continues to live in the house and keep the taxes paid and insurance in force.
