Mortgage Protection Insurance
When it comes to buying a new home, one thing that you don’t want to forget about is protecting this investment. Mortgage protection insurance (MPI) is an insurance policy that can help you pay your mortgage in case something unexpected happens.
What Is Mortgage Protection Insurance (MPI)?
Mortgage protection insurance is a type of insurance that pays your mortgage if you become unable to do so.
For example, if you become disabled, lose your job, or pass away, your mortgage protection insurance policy will pay your mortgage. The policy can come in different variations and cover different situations.
Most mortgage protection policies can be purchased by homeowners while they are still applying for a mortgage. They can either be standalone policies or riders added to an existing life insurance policy or disability insurance policy.
How Does It Work?
MPI policies have different requirements and limitations. Some require that you meet specific conditions before paying out.
For example, some policies may require you to be unemployed for a certain period before becoming eligible for payment. Others may require you to become disabled in a specific way or for a specific amount of time.
Typically, the amount paid out equals your outstanding mortgage balance, and it decreases as your mortgage is paid down.
Do You Need Mortgage Protection Insurance?
MPI can be a good idea if you have a mortgage but haven’t built up enough savings to cover the payments if something happens to you.
This type of insurance is also worth considering if you’re the sole breadwinner of your family and your family relies on your income to make mortgage payments.
Another factor to consider is the location of your house. Some people might benefit from MPI if they live in high-risk areas dealing with disasters; this added coverage could offer peace of mind.
