What Is Mortgage Protection Insurance?

After buying a home, condo, townhouse, mobile home, investment property, or commercial property, as a borrower you have substantial mortgages that will remain unpaid if insurance is not provided to leave these properties free and clear for your heirs after death.  A Mortgage Protection Plan will pay your mortgage note if you become disabled due to an accident or illness or if your employer lays you off. Statistics show 12 in 100 die before paying off their home, while 48% of all foreclosures are the result of disability.

What If I Die?

What If I Live?

With the optional money back rider, all the premiums you pay will be refunded to you at the end of the coverage period. As a bonus, you may receive part of your premium back!

What If I Become Disabled?

Disability Income Rider

The optional Disability Income Rider provides a monthly benefit calculated to be roughly equal to your mortgage payment each month for up to 24 months after the insured has been disabled for 90 days.

Disability Income-Accident Rider (Level Term Only)

The Accident Only Disability Income Rider provides a monthly benefit calculated to be roughly equal to your mortgage payment each month for up to 24 months after the insured has been disabled for 90 days, for any sudden, unforeseen and unexpected event which occurs without the insured’s intent that results in the total disability of the insured.

How Much Does Mortgage Protection Coverage Cost?

This plan is one of the most competitive life insurance products on the market today. There are a variety of options that provide levels of protection that may be tailored just for your needs.

Why Should I Beware Of Mortgage Protection Insurance Offered By My Lender?
  • It is customary for banks and loan companies to add credit life when processing property loans. Please be aware that these policies are limited to only protecting the bank’s interest and not yours.
  • The bank normally becomes the owner and beneficiary of such policies that may be conveniently added into their note. The recipient of the property loan has very little say-so regarding the proceeds of the policy and named beneficiary if death should occur, which causes possible property tax ramifications and forced heirship problems.
  • Owning your own policy gives you the right to:
  • control and assign the proceeds to whomever you wish,
  • transfer the policy to another loan, or
  • add another loan to it and convert the policy if your mortgage is paid off.
  • The bank policy cancels the mortgage giving you no options, which is dangerous, especially if you are uninsurable at the time.
