How can life insurance help with a mortgage?
Mortgage protection is often a planning use for term life insurance rather than one identical product. The right structure depends on whether you want a benefit paid to family members, a lender, or another beneficiary under the contract.
How it works
Review the mortgage balance, remaining years, household income, and existing coverage. A policy’s death benefit may help with housing expenses, but paying the mortgage in full is not automatic or guaranteed. The benefit amount, beneficiary, exclusions, and coverage period matter.
Situations worth discussing
- A household relying on more than one income
- A recently purchased or refinanced home
- A wish to help beneficiaries stay in the home
- A need to review debt and income protection together
