1. What is mortgage protection insurance?It’s life insurance designed to pay off your mortgage if you pass away or become critically ill, ensuring your family can stay in the home.
2. Is this the same as PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance)?No. PMI protects the lender—mortgage protection protects your family by paying off your home if something happens to you.
3. What types of coverage are available?You can choose from term life, return of premium, or permanent policies—with optional add-ons for disability or critical illness.
4. What happens if I outlive the policy?If you have a return of premium policy, you’ll get all your money back. With regular term, the coverage simply ends.
5. How much does it cost?Plans are based on your age, health, mortgage amount, and the type of policy. Many start under $1/day.
6. Do I need a medical exam?Some policies require an exam, but many qualify for simplified or no-exam coverage depending on age and health.
7. How quickly can I get covered?Some carriers offer same-day approval. Once approved, your family is protected immediately.
