Frequently asked questions

Can I help my elderly parent get out of a solar or PACE loan?

Yes — with their authorization, you can gather the documents, file consumer complaints, get the system documented, and help them contact an attorney of their choosing. The Florida Attorney General has resources specific to elder financial exploitation.

My parent has a PACE loan on a paid-off home — is that dangerous?

It can be, because PACE is collected through property taxes and falling behind can put even a paid-off home at risk. That's a situation where you'll want to document everything and speak with an attorney promptly.
