MORTGAGE PROTECTION
Mortgage Protection Insurance (MP) offers several key benefits, primarily providing financial security for your family and protecting your home in the event of your death, disability, or serious illness. Here’s why Mortgage Protection Insurance is important and how it can benefit homeowners:

​
1. Ensures Mortgage is Paid Off
-
Financial Protection for Your Family: In the event of your death, MP provides a death benefit specifically designed to the policy you applied for. This ensures that your loved ones won’t be burdened with the mortgage payments or risk losing the home after your passing while providing them with a cash benefit as they continue on.
-
No Mortgage Foreclosure Risk: By paying off the mortgage in full, MP eliminates the risk of foreclosure, allowing your family to stay in their home without worrying about future payments.
2. Covers Disability or Illness
-
Protection if You Become Disabled: Some MP policies also offer coverage if you become disabled and can no longer work. This ensures that your mortgage payments continue to be made even if you’re unable to generate an income due to illness or injury.
-
Critical Illness Coverage: In some cases, MP policies include coverage for critical illnesses (like cancer or heart attack), helping you make mortgage payments while focusing on recovery instead of worrying about losing your home.
-
Terminal Illness Coverage: MP policies include an 75%-90% advance on your policy for terminal illnesses, helping you make mortgage payments, pay off your home, or prepare for final expenses while creating a new life for you family when you pass.
3. Guaranteed Approval (Usually)
-
Easy to Qualify: Mortgage Protection Insurance typically does not require a detailed medical exam or any medical exam at all, making it easier to qualify for compared to other types of life insurance. This can be beneficial for individuals with health issues who might struggle to obtain traditional life insurance policies.
-
Fixed Coverage Based on Policy Benefit: There are two things that always remain level, the benefit and the insurance premium. In other words if something happens to you tomorrow or 10 years from now, the benefit and monthly payment remain the same.
4. Peace of Mind
-
Security for Homeowners: Knowing that your mortgage will be paid off in the event of your death or inability to work can provide peace of mind. It ensures that your family won’t have to sell the home or move due to financial difficulties.
-
Stability During Crisis: Whether you’re dealing with a terminal illness, disability, or unexpected death, MP provides a stable financial foundation during these life crises, allowing your family to focus on emotional and physical recovery rather than financial stress.
5. Protects Home Equity
-
Preserves Home as an Asset: By ensuring the mortgage is paid off, MP helps preserve the home as a financial asset for your family. This allows them to maintain ownership or sell it without the burden of debt, making sure they can fully benefit from any home equity.
6. A Type of Life Insurance
-
Dedicated to Life: Your MP life insurance payout can be used for other expenses (such as living costs, education, or debt), while MP focuses solely on ensuring that your home is paid off.
7. Affordable Premiums
-
Budget-Friendly: With more than 40 carriers our main focus is to find the lowest premium with a carrier that you would qualify for.
8. Simplified Claims Process
-
Direct Payment to Beneficiary: In these programs your lender is not your beneficiary. Your beneficiary is typically a loved one that you want to protect the home for so they receive the full benefit of the Mortgage Protection,
9. Customizable Coverage
-
Adaptable to Your Mortgage: You can choose coverage options that align with your mortgage terms. Whether you have a 15-year or 30-year mortgage, MP can be tailored to cover the full term, life or offering flexibility to match your home loan.
10. Preserves Family Wealth/Legacy
-
Avoids Draining Savings: MP ensures that your family doesn't need to tap into savings, retirement accounts, or other financial assets to keep up with mortgage payments. This can help preserve their financial well-being, especially in times of crisis.
In Summary:
Mortgage Protection Insurance is a valuable tool for homeowners who want to ensure their mortgage is paid off if they die, become disabled, or suffer a critical illness. It provides financial stability, prevents foreclosure, and helps protect your family’s home during difficult times. By doing so, it relieves your loved ones of the financial burden of maintaining mortgage payments, giving them the peace of mind and security to stay in their home.
