There is a need to know about Mortgage Life Insurance which of course is very necessary for all businessmen or women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is mortgage life insurance?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mortgage life insurance is a type of insurance that pays out if you pass away before you end the payment of your mortgage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The purpose is to prevent the family you leave behind from making monthly repayments or being forced to sell the properties to pay the amounts owed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are basically two types of mortgage cover:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Decreases term- this is where the pay-out decreases in line with your mortgage balance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the cheapest mortgage you can get in the market, as your coverage amount decreases as you pay the mortgage off (Although your monthly payments do not change).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your dependents have enough money remaining to pay the rest of the mortgage. It is solely designed for repayment mortgages- this is where the amount you borrow is fully repaid at the end of the duration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is also worth looking at level-term insurance too- if both policies are not too dissimilar in price, the level-term is a better option as it provides more cover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

2. Level Term- This is where the pay-out is fixed for the duration of the policy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are expensive policies as they pay a specific lump sum if you pass away within a specified time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example; You\u2019d be paid \u00a3200,000 if you die within the next 18 years. This is a better option if you want to leave a lump sum for your family to pay for more than your mortgage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Level-term is also a better option if you have an interest-only mortgage. With this, the lump sum would be available to cover the capital than the repayments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Should I get mortgage life insurance?:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
