FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT IS MORTGAGE PROTECTION?
This type of insurance is offered to help your family prevent foreclosure if you pass away or become disabled. You will still owe on your mortgage if you pass away, but this type of insurance will also pay off your mortgage for your family. If you become disabled. This is called living benefits.
Mortgage protection insurance works similar to term life insurance policies. You will purchase the policy and make your monthly payments. This keeps your coverage active. If you pass away while your policy is active, the insurance provider will cover the agreed-upon balance to the mortgage company. If you don’t pass away while your term is still active and the policy ends, there won’t be any payments made to the mortgage company from the policy.
This type of insurance is different than private mortgage insurance. PMI won’t protect you, specifically. It will pay your lender if you aren’t able to make payments on your mortgage loan. It won’t take over your payments. If you pass away and have private mortgage insurance, the home will probably be foreclosed on if your loved ones can’t make the payments. Some lenders require people to have private mortgage insurance if they aren’t able to pay 20% or more down when buying the home. However, MPI is going to be voluntary. MPI is also different from the FHA loan mortgage insurance.
DOES MY BANK OFFER MORTGAGE PROTECTION?
You know, it used to be that you had to do this directly through your lender. They offered you two terrible options. The first one was PMI. You paid for it, but they owned it. You paid for it, and mortgage company was the beneficiary. That was a good deal for them, but not a good deal for you. The second option offered thru the lender was decreasing term. This coverage was non-transferable. So, if you sold your home and moved, you had to get a new policy at an older age and a higher cost. What’s more, all you ever get is title to the house. In essence, you are penalized for living. So every year you live the value of the policy goes down but your payment stays the same. Lastly, if you live, they never gave you any of your premiums back.
WHY IS MORTGAGE PROTECTION GOOD TO HAVE?
Nowadays, people handle their mortgage protection directly. You still pay for it, but you own it, and you choose the beneficiary. This allows the policy to be completely transferable. So now if you sell your home and move, you take the protection with you. And if your lender sells your loan to another lender, it doesn’t affect your coverage. You no longer have to renew at an older age and your cost stays fixed for the life of the policy. Also, because your premium remains level, so will your coverage. In essence, you are rewarded for living. And lastly, you will have the option to get all of your money back if you never use the policy (return of premium option). By doing it this way, you guarantee your age, health, benefits and beneficiary, thus putting you in control of your mortgage protection… and that’s how it should be.

WHAT IS TERM LIFE INSURANCE?
Term life insurance will guarantee a specific payment for death benefits to the beneficiaries that are on the policy. However, this is only the case, if the policyholder passes away within the specific term on the policy. Term life insurance doesn’t have any value or any savings components. The term life premium will be based on the policyholder’s health, life expectancy, and age. After the term is up, the policyholder can decide to renew it for a set term, convert it to permanent life insurance coverage, or let it terminate.
