Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of law, in addition to any other power exercised by it, every authorized lender, as defined by section two hundred eighty or two hundred eighty-a of the real property law, shall have the power to offer reverse mortgage loans (1) which conform to the provisions of section two hundred eighty or two hundred eighty-a of the real property law and the rules and regulations promulgated by the superintendent of financial services; or (2) which conform to the requirements of the federal housing administration's home equity conversion mortgage insurance demonstration program for as long as such program exists as provided for in section 1715Z-20 of title 12 of the United States Code. "Reverse mortgage" shall mean the mortgage, deed of trust or other security instrument relating to a particular reverse mortgage loan transaction.
The proceeds of a reverse mortgage shall not be considered as income for the purposes of section four hundred sixty-seven of the real property tax law; provided, however, that monies used to repay a reverse mortgage may not be deducted from income, and provided additionally that any interest or dividends realized from the investment of reverse mortgage proceeds shall be considered income.
