Understanding your coverage
What does mortgage protection cover?
A home is more than an asset, but its mortgage can be a family's biggest monthly expense. Mortgage protection is designed to help loved ones keep that home if you pass away. Some plans also provide support when serious illness or disability disrupts your income.
Coverage is usually a term life policy matched to your mortgage balance. Many carriers offer optional living benefit riders, without complex investment features — just a focus on protecting your family's home.
Help with the housing payment
Loved ones can use the benefit to pay down the mortgage or cover ongoing payments, helping reduce the pressure to sell or relocate.
A more straightforward application
With many simplified-underwriting plans, you answer health questions rather than arrange a medical exam.
Coverage that considers your budget
Matching the amount and term to your mortgage can make coverage more affordable than you might expect.
Your decision, at every step
The coverage amount and policy are yours to choose. Reviewing your options costs nothing and never commits you to buying.
Who may benefit from mortgage protection?
When someone relies on your income to pay for the home, this coverage may be worth considering. That includes:
New homeowners
A new mortgage is a major commitment. Coverage can help keep that responsibility from falling entirely on your loved ones.
Main household earners
If your earnings cover the mortgage, a benefit can help fill the financial gap after you pass away.
Parents and caregivers
A familiar home, school, and daily routine can offer children stability when life changes unexpectedly.

Answers before you decide
What does mortgage protection cover?+
Mortgage protection is life insurance intended to help pay down or cover a mortgage after you pass away. Depending on the carrier, a policy may also offer living benefits for critical illness or disability.
Will I have to take a medical exam?+
Not always. Many carriers use a short set of health questions through simplified underwriting. The policy and carrier determine whether you qualify.
How do I choose a coverage amount?+
Homeowners often start with their outstanding mortgage balance. A licensed agent can help weigh that amount against your needs and budget.
What determines my rate?+
Your age, health, tobacco use, coverage amount, and policy term all affect the price. We compare carriers for free to help you find a rate that works for you.
Could my existing life insurance be enough?+
It may be. The question is whether it covers the mortgage as well as your family's other expenses. An agent can review your current policy and help identify any shortfall.
Does getting a quote commit me to a policy?+
No. There is no charge to compare, and no requirement to buy. You decide whether any option is right for you.
What could protection look like for you?
Start in about a minute. No cost to compare, no commitment to buy.
