One of the most vital services we offer at Life-Health-Annuity is helping our clients establish mortgage protection plans for their homes.
What exactly is mortgage protection?Well, if you’re like most Americans, your home is the largest purchase you have ever made,
and the most valuable asset you own, financially-speaking. Your mortgage payment is likely your family’s largest monthly expense,
and you work hard to dutifully pay down your mortgage balance every month.
These aren’t pleasant situations to imagine yourself being thrown into, but it is a risk that is important to be
prepared for. Typically, these plans are designed to pay off the balance of the mortgage should the policyholder pass away within the coverage period (typically 30 years, to cover a 30-year mortgage).

This type of coverage has low face amount limits since the carrier has not been able to fully underwrite the insured based on your health. The policy typically has graded benefits during the first 2 years which means if the insured dies within that period from policy issue then the beneficiary would receive the amount of premiums paid plus predetermined interest.
Term Life Insurance provides coverage at a fixed rate of payments for a limited period of time. This insurance is often the most affordable coverage because it offers protection for a specific number of years. A few reasons for purchasing a term life insurance policy may be getting maximum coverage for the lowest price, using it to cover specific financial responsibilities such as a mortgage or other loans, and to supplement a work or permanent policy that may be in force.
