Do You Understand Mortgage Insurance ?

If you have slaved for a number of years to buy a home, you probably have thought about ways to protect it.

If anything befalls you, either death or disability, you probably want to be assured that your family will not have the home you have worked so hard to get taken away from them. Insurance policies are available that protect the ownership of the home in case you cannot pay your mortgage due to death or disability. The main types of mortgage insurance given on the market are life and disability.

If you are the main breadwinner in your family, if your income stops, either temporarily or permanently, in all likelihood, your spouse will not be able to make the mortgage payments on the home.

If you are like most people, you don't want to consider the fact of your death. If you want to make sure that your family will be able to continue living in their beloved home after you are gone, you should purchase a mortgage life insurance policy.

A typical mortgage life insurance policy will provide a benefit that can pay down the balance of the mortgage on your residence. There are two types of these mortgage policies, but decreasing term, whereby the amount paid out reduces as the balance of the mortgage reduces, is the most popular.

Mortgage disability insurance, on the other hand, is designed to allow the payments on your mortgage to continue in the case you are disabled due to an accident or illness and cannot work and earn a salary. In this case, the home loan is paid out of the proceeds of the policy. Some people think this is not necessary if they have disability insurance at work, but be aware that standard disability insurance only covers 60 to 70% of the salary, and that may not be enough to pay all expenses, including the home loan.

Many insurance analysts believe that mortgage disability insurance is more important than mortgage life insurance because the chances of being disabled are greater than the chances of dying for most of the pre-retirement population.

There is the added complexity that many households could not even afford a home if both partners were not employed, and they should buy a joint policy. It may happen, for example, that a car accident disables both spouses who were together in the car.
