Protection For Your Most Important Asset

A Type of Term Life Insuance.

Mortgage Protection Insurance

Mortgage protection insurance is a type of term life insurance that functions much like other life insurance policies and is largely affordable. It is designed to pay off your mortgage in the event of your death, with the premium that you pay based on the amount of coverage you need (sometimes reflecting the amount of your outstanding mortgage), your general health, your tobacco use and your age at the time you apply for coverage.

Some mortgage protection plans offer simplified underwriting, which means that you will not need to undergo a medical exam to qualify. This coverage ensures that if you were no longer able to contribute to mortgage payments, your family could stay in their home and give you peace of mind, knowing that your mortgage payments are covered in the event something unexpected happened.

Recently Closed…

Don’t Get Confused

If you have recently closed on a mortgage or home equity line, you may have received mail about getting homeowners or mortgage insurance. It can be confusing to sort through all the different types of insurance that are available when it comes to your home.

Some policies might be a much better fit than others. The main difference is that homeowner’s insurance protects against damage to your home, but mortgage protection can help you pay off your mortgage if the unexpected were to happen.

Functioning like a standard term life policy, you purchase a Mortgage protection policy for a set period, make monthly payments, and if you pass away while the policy is in force, your policy will provide a death benefit.

Additional Options

An additional option to consider is to add coverage that would make policy benefits payable if you were to become disabled and could no longer contribute to mortgage payments. If you become disabled, the insurer will make your mortgage payments on your behalf and you could potentially have money left over to cover other expenses including medical costs, a college education, and more.

More Options.

Premium Rider Refunds

There is also an option of adding a return of premium rider, which would refund your premiums if you do not end up using the policy at the end of your term.

This means that you can protect your loved ones for a chosen term length, then if you do not need to use the policy, you can get all your money back.

No one knows when unexpected tragedy might come into our lives.

There is no reason in waiting to cover something as important as your home, so reach out to us today to discuss your options.

Things To Think About.

Disadvantages of Mortgage Protection Insurance

  • It only offers protection for a set number of years (similar to the length of your mortgage)

  • Mortgage protection is less flexible than other types of insurance. Once you are locked in, the policy does not adapt to any life changes that you may experience later

  • If you need life insurance coverage later in life, you might need to take out another policy
