Mortgage Life Insurance is a form of term insurance
that is purchased by homeowners to protect their home in the event of
the untimely death of one of the homeowners.
Mortgage Life Insurance provides coverage for a
specific period of time. Most policies will cover 2 people, and a few
companies offer plans that will insure up to 4 people, assuming all
parties covered have their names on the mortgage.
Usually, mortgage life insurance is a "First to Die"
policy. In other words, if any of the insured people named on the
policy die, the death benefit is paid to the beneficiary.
Once the death benefit is paid, there is no longer any
life insurance in force for the surviving spouse. If the original
amount of coverage selected was adequate this may not be an issue.
However, often the surviving spouse still needs coverage, even though
the mortgage is paid. In this scenario a new application is
needed.
Mortgage Life Insurance is usually sold by most banks
and mortgage companies. It is a very profitable product for the
following reasons:
- It only covers the balance on your mortgage. As the
balance declines, the death benefit also decreases.
- The lender is the beneficiary of the policy. If the
insured dies during the term of the policy, the mortgage will be paid
off with the death benefit.
- The surviving spouse, or heirs don't have a choice
how the death benefit is used. If you sell your house, you no longer
have an insurance policy. This could be an issue if you want to buy
another house and your health statue has changed.
- It is often more expensive than regular term life
insurance
