Mortgage Protection insurance, not to be confused with PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) which protects the lender, is designed to protect for most people their largest investment, the family home. This is done in one of two ways, either paying off the mortgage balance entirely or by providing the funds to pay mortgage premiums for a limited time.
One of the questions we get asked every time we talk with people about Mortgage Protection is what it is? Is this part of my mortgage? Don’t I pay for this already with PMI?
First, PMI or Private Mortgage Insurance, protects the lender from losing money if you, for any reason can no longer pay your mortgage premium and end up in foreclosure. PMI he does not protect you in any way it only protects the lender.
