What Happens to the House If a Borrower Dies?
Could your partner keep up the house payment on a single paycheck? In many homes the truthful answer is: for a while, and then not. Mortgage protection is our name for term coverage lined up with your loan. Its size follows what you still owe, and its length follows the years until the last payment. If you die inside that window, your beneficiary collects enough to wipe out the balance or stay current on payments while the household finds its footing. Why is the money paid to your family rather than to the lender? Because that keeps the decision with them. They might pay off the loan in one stroke, keep paying and use the funds for everyday costs, or do some of each. Highwood Life Insurance arranges these for people who just bought their first place, for couples coming out of a refinance and for families who reached a little to live on a street they love. We start from the real figures, meaning balance, rate and payoff date, credit any coverage you already hold and then describe a few term lengths and sizes along with their monthly price. Loans change, so we stay involved afterward. Refinance, move or pay ahead of schedule, and a quick call lets us confirm the coverage still lines up.
What Does Mortgage Protection Take Into Account?
Matching coverage to your loan means answering these questions.
How much do you owe?
The benefit follows your current balance, plus property taxes if you wish.
How many years remain?
The term follows the loan, whether that is fifteen years or thirty.
Who gets the money?
Your beneficiary, who decides what to do with it.
Are there two earners?
We consider whether one policy or a policy for each makes more sense.
What if you refinance?
We revisit the coverage so it keeps pace with the new loan.
Should a funeral be included?
Many families add a little so final costs never compete with the house payment.
Could the price rise?
No. It stays the same for the entire term.
What coverage do you have now?
Anything you already hold is credited, so you only add what is missing.
