What is mortgage life insurance?
Author: Byron UdellMortgage life insurance is a type of life insurance that will help your family pay the mortgage if you should die. Sounds great, right? My mortgage is my biggest expense. But what about food, clothing and college?
Mortgage life insurance is unlike level premium term life insurance. Level premium term life insurance is a type of policy whose premiums will remain level for the entire length of the policy and the face amount or death benefit will also always remain the same. Mortgage life insurance follows the amount of the mortgage balance so, as your mortgage obligation decreased, so does the amount of insurance. It makes more sense to buy the level premium term life insurance.
