How Mortgage Protection Works
It's straightforward: term life insurance sized to your mortgage — $250,000 of coverage on a $250,000 mortgage, for a term matching the years you have left. If you pass during the term, your family receives the full amount, income-tax-free, typically within days. They can pay off the house — or use it however they need. Their home, their choice.
⚠️ The trap to avoid: "decreasing" mortgage insurance
The offers that flood your mailbox after closing are often decreasing coverage — the benefit shrinks as your balance drops, but the premium never does, and some pay the lender directly. We quote level term: the full benefit stays the full benefit, your family is the beneficiary, and it survives a refinance. Usually for the same price or less.
Why Homeowners Choose It
- Exact-match terms. 22 years left on the mortgage? We can quote a 22-year term — you don't pay for years you don't need.
- Your family gets the money. Not the bank. Pay off the house, cover payments while grieving, or both.
- Work insurance isn't enough. Group coverage is typically 1–2x salary and vanishes when the job does.
- Living benefit riders available. Some policies can pay out early for qualifying serious illness — protection you can use while alive.
