The Reality

Your Mortgage Doesn't Know You Died

The bank will still expect that payment on the 1st of the month.

Every month.

Whether you're here or not.

If you're the primary income earner in your home, or even if you share that responsibility equally, the sudden loss of your income would put your family in an impossible position: grieve the loss of the person they love, AND figure out how to keep their home.

Most families have about three to six months of savings. That's not enough time to recover, restructure, and rebuild. And most employers' life insurance, if you have it at all, is designed to replace income, not specifically to pay off your mortgage.

Mortgage protection is a dedicated policy designed to solve exactly this problem. It's not complicated. It's not expensive. And most families who look into it wonder why they didn't do it sooner.

How It Works

How Mortgage Protection Works — In Plain English

Mortgage protection insurance is a life insurance policy that is specifically sized to match your mortgage. If you pass away while the policy is in force, your beneficiaries receive a tax-free death benefit, which they can use to pay off the mortgage and keep their home.

Some policies also include living benefits: protection that pays out if you are diagnosed with a critical illness (like cancer or a heart attack) or become disabled and can no longer work.

It is not PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance). PMI protects the lender. Mortgage protection protects your family.

1

We Match Coverage to Your Mortgage

Coverage is typically based on your remaining mortgage balance and how many years are left on your loan. We make sure the protection is sized right: not too small to help, not so large it's wasteful.

2

You Lock In Your Premium

Your monthly premium is set at the time of application and stays level for the life of the policy. Coverage typically begins the same day your application is approved.

3

Your Family Is Protected

If you pass away, your beneficiaries receive the death benefit, tax-free. They can use it to pay off the mortgage or however they decide. The benefit goes to your family, not the bank.

You Probably Need This If…

  • You own a home with a mortgage, especially a new 30-year loan
  • You have a spouse, children, or anyone who depends on your income to stay in that home
  • You're self-employed and don't have employer-provided life insurance
  • You just refinanced and restarted your mortgage term
  • You have existing life insurance, but it's not specifically allocated to cover your mortgage
  • You'd feel better knowing that even in the worst case, your family's home is secure

This May Not Be What You Need If…

  • You own your home free and clear (no mortgage balance remaining)
  • You have term or whole life insurance specifically designated to cover your mortgage with adequate benefit
  • Your family has substantial liquid assets that could cover the mortgage without financial hardship

If you're not sure whether you already have enough coverage, we're happy to look at what you have and tell you honestly whether there's a gap. There's no charge for that conversation.

FAQ

Common Questions About Mortgage Protection

Is mortgage protection the same as PMI?
No. PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) protects the lender in case you default. Mortgage protection insurance protects your family by paying off or covering your mortgage payments if you die or become critically ill. They are completely different products with completely different purposes.
Do I need a medical exam?
Many mortgage protection policies are available without a full medical exam. Coverage is based on health history questions and age. For some plans, approval can happen in minutes. For others, a brief phone interview is required. We'll find the right plan for your health profile.
I already have life insurance through my employer. Do I still need this?
Possibly. Employer-provided life insurance typically ends when you leave the job and may not be enough to cover both your mortgage AND replace your income. Mortgage protection gives your family dedicated, portable coverage for their home, regardless of where you work.
What does it typically cost?
Many homeowners pay between $30 and $100 per month, depending on age, health, mortgage balance, and term remaining. We'll show you the actual numbers, no surprises.
What if I'm in poor health?
We work with carriers that specialize in simplified issue and guaranteed issue policies. Even if you have health conditions, there may be options available. The best way to find out is to have the conversation.
Will my policy pay the bank directly?
Typically no. Most policies pay the death benefit to your named beneficiary, who can then choose how to use the funds. This gives your family flexibility.
What if I move or sell the house?
Your coverage can often travel with you or be adjusted. Some policies are portable; others may need to be re-evaluated. We discuss this when setting up your plan.
What happens to the coverage when my mortgage is paid off?
The policy can remain in force as general life insurance for your beneficiaries, or you can cancel it. The decision is yours.

One Conversation. One Week. Lifetime Peace of Mind.

Getting covered is simpler than most people think. Answer a few questions, we prepare your options, and if something makes sense, you can often be covered within days, not weeks. Your family's home is worth 10 minutes of your time.
