Do you need mortgage life insurance

Fri, 24 Nov 2006

Following recent studies that show life insurance protection is often shuffled down the list of insurance priorities, many people may think that they don’t actually need life insurance . For young people with no dependants and no mortgages, this can actually be true, however any of the two previous factors renders life insurance an invaluable type of cover that should be considered essential.

Life is always uncertain, and when an individual makes a commitment to take out a home loan, he or she must consider what would happen in the event of death. Would a family be left to repay the mortgage ? Could they afford this? Most financial advisers believe that taking our cover equal to the value of the loan is the most important factor possible to protect the future of the family.

Mortgage life insurance is often a different type of policy to standard term cover. Term insurance will generally cover the lost income from a breadwinner, as well as meeting the cost of living and other financial requirements for the bereaved family. Mortgage term assurance policies will reduce over time as the loan goes down.
