About Mortgage
Insurance
The term Mortgage
Insurance is
sometimes used when
the life insurance
being purchased will
be used primarily to
pay off a mortgage
in the event of
death. You may
find This type of
life insurance is
also referred to as
Mortgage Protection
Insurance, or
Mortgage Life
Insurance, or
mortgage term
insurance.
The Term PMI refers
to Private Mortgage
Insurance.
Private mortgage
insurance is
sometimes confused
by the homeowner
because it's name
sounds like the life
insurance plan.
This is not Life
Insurance. It
helps insure the
lender if they have
to foreclose.
PMI is required by
lenders when the
amount of the loan
is equal to or
greater than 80
percent of the home
appraised value.
Credit Life
insurance is
sometimes offered at
closing by the
mortgage company.
It is possible that
credit life
insurance could
result in paying off
a mortgage in the
event of the
homeowners death.
However, there are
some big
disadvantages to
purchasing credit
life with the
mortgage.
First, credit life
rarely covers the
entire length of the
mortgage.
Often only for a
limited term like 7
years.
Secondly, the
premium is usually
financed in with the
mortgage resulting
in higher payments
and extra interest
being paid for the
entire mortgage
period.
Thirdly, the primary
beneficiary is
usually the mortgage
company to the
extent of the
balance of the
mortgage leaving no
choice, or
additional funds for
the surviving family
members.
Fourth, credit life
only covers the loan
it was purchased
for. If the loan is
refinanced, there
would still be a
debt, but no
insurance to cover
the debt because the
old loan was paid
off .
About Level Term
Life Insurance
In my opinion, level
term life insurance
makes the best
mortgage insurance
protection.
I base my opinion on
several key benefits
to the insured that
are available with
the purchase of
level term life for
mortgage insurance.
(1) The
death benefit
remains level for
the entire term even
while the mortgage
balance is
decreasing.
This leaves more
dollars available
for your family, or
other beneficiary to
help replace the
obvious loss of your
income if you died.
(2) The
insurance policy is
owned by insured, or
the beneficiary,
making the policy
portable in the
event you sell your
house, or refinance.
(3) With
decreasing term, or
a policy where the
mortgage company is
the beneficiary, you
may find yourself
needing to buy
another policy if
you sell your house,
or refinance.
If your health has
deteriorated, or
your age has
increased after
purchasing the
original policy, you
may find you either
cannot qualify for
additional
insurance, or that
it would be much
higher for the same
amount.
(4) some
Level term policies
now have extra
protection included,
for critical
illness, or a
chronic illness, or
a terminal illness.
Some include this
extra benefit at no
additional cost,
while other
insurance companies
included it for a
minimal extra
premium.
Including these
benefits are very
important because a
heart attack,
stroke, invasive
cancer, severe burn,
or some other
qualifying trauma,
if not fatal, could
keep you from
earning a living,
which could be a
fate worse than
death.
The ability to
access your death
benefits in your
life insurance
policy while you are
living could be a
financial life
saver.
