Year 0 10 20 30It's term life insurance, sized to your mortgage.
Coverage is set to your balance and the years left on the loan. If you die during the term, the benefit is paid to the people you name — not to the lender — and they decide what to do with it: pay off the house, or keep making the payments.

What a licensed agent does on the call.
Call a licensed agentThree kinds of “mortgage insurance.” Only one pays your family.
01 — ComparePMI and FHA mortgage insurance
Protects the lender if a loan goes unpaid. It isn't life insurance, and it pays nothing to your family.
Credit life insurance
Pays the lender directly if you die, and the benefit usually shrinks as the balance falls. It typically ends if you refinance or pay off the loan.
Mortgage protection (term life)
A term life policy on you, sized to your mortgage. It's paid to the people you name, and it stays with you if you refinance, sell or move.
General descriptions. Your loan documents and each policy's own terms control.
The bank doesn't take the house. The payment keeps coming.
What your family inherits is the loan — not the income that was paying it.
The things people ask before they call.
No. PMI — and the mortgage insurance on FHA loans — protects the lender if a loan goes unpaid. It isn't life insurance and pays nothing to your family. Mortgage protection is term life insurance on you, paid to the people you name.
No. Mortgage protection is optional, and it isn't a condition of your mortgage. LifePolicies-Help is an independent insurance agency: we aren't your lender, and we aren't affiliated with it or with any government program.
Mortgage records are public, and insurance marketers use them to mail offers — which is how a letter can mention your lender and your loan amount. Those letters generally come from insurance marketers, not from your lender. If you have one, mention it on the call and we'll compare it with other options.
Many homeowners start with their mortgage balance and the years left on the loan. Some add enough to cover other bills or a few years of income. A licensed agent will help you size it; what you qualify for is the insurance carrier's decision.
An individual term policy is on you, not on the house or the loan, so it stays in force as long as the premiums are paid. When your loan changes, it's worth checking that the amount and term still fit.
Not to talk to an agent or see options. Some carriers can decide with health questions and prescription history; others require an exam. It depends on your age, your health, the amount and the carrier.
No. Your answers go to one licensed agent at this agency. We do not run a lead auction, and we do not need a Social Security number or payment details to price a policy.
