Quick overview

- You recently bought or refinanced a home.
- You want coverage that lines up with your loan.
How it works
Mortgage protection is usually a life insurance policy sized to your mortgage. Some are level, and some decrease as your balance goes down.
In most cases the benefit is paid to your beneficiary, who can choose to pay off the loan.
Why people consider it
- Coverage can be matched to your loan term and balance.
- Helps your family avoid a forced move.
- Straightforward to set up alongside a new mortgage.
What to understand before choosing it
- A level term policy often does the same job with more flexibility — worth comparing.
- Decreasing coverage means the benefit shrinks over time.
- Who receives the benefit depends on how the policy is set up.
