Forward Access

A home equity investment designed for families who want to share wealth across generations.

What is Forward Access?

Forward Access is a home equity investment (HEI) that allows parents to unlock a portion of their home equity and transfer it to their children—without taking on debt, without monthly payments, and often tax-free.

Unlike traditional home equity loans or lines of credit, Forward Access doesn't require monthly payments. Instead, Forward invests in a portion of your parents' home equity and receives its share when the home is eventually sold.
