Mortgage protection insurance helps ensure your family can remain in their home if something happens to you—either by paying off the remaining mortgage balance or providing temporary payment coverage that gives them time to adjust.
Safeguarding Your Home for Your Family’s Future
This coverage is designed to help protect your home
Depending on the structure, coverage can either pay down the mortgage—making it easier for a surviving spouse to refinance and remain in the home—fully pay off the remaining balance, or provide monthly payments for 6 to 24 months to help cover mortgage costs during a transitional period.
Protection can be enhanced with optional riders for job loss, disability, or accidental death, adding an extra layer of security when income is disrupted. Coverage is typically aligned with your mortgage balance and loan term, so you’re not paying for more protection than you need. In many cases, no medical exam is required, allowing coverage to be put in place quickly and simply.
