What Is Mortgage Protection Insurance and Do You Need It?

If you have a mortgage, you already know how important it is to keep up with your payments. But what happens to your home if you pass away unexpectedly? That is where mortgage protection insurance comes in — and for many families, it is one of the smartest financial decisions they can make.

What Is Mortgage Protection Insurance?

Mortgage protection insurance is a type of life insurance policy designed specifically to pay off your mortgage if you die before it is paid off. Instead of leaving your spouse or children scrambling to make payments or worse, losing the home, the insurance benefit covers what is left on your loan.

Who Needs It?

If any of these sound like you, mortgage protection insurance may be exactly what you need:

• You are the primary income earner in your household

• Your spouse or family could not afford the mortgage without your income

• You are on a fixed income and want peace of mind that your home is protected

• You recently purchased a home or refinanced

How Is It Different From Regular Life Insurance?

Regular life insurance pays a benefit to whoever you choose. Mortgage protection insurance is specifically tied to your home loan. Some policies even decrease in value as your mortgage balance goes down, keeping your premiums lower over time.
