What is Mortgage Protection Insurance?
As a homeowner, being able to pay your mortgage every month is important. In the event of a premature death, critical illness or loss of job, would your loved ones be able to pay the mortgage? Nobody knows what the future holds, but you can achieve peace of mind today with mortgage protection insurance.
Mortgage protection insurance is a term life policy designed to pay off your mortgage. You purchase a policy for a set term (usually 10-30 years), make monthly payments, and if you pass away while the policy is in force, your beneficiary receives funds to pay off the mortgage. This coverage can also account for loss of income due to disability or critical illness.
Mortgage protection provides peace of mind, ensuring that your family wouldn't lose their home in an extraordinary circumstance.
Can I afford mortgage protection insurance?
Yes! Depending on your financial situation, this type of life insurance can be a more affordable option than purchasing a separate whole life policy to pay off your mortgage in the event of your death.
