13 Sep What You Need to Know about Mortgage Protection Insurance

Most of us are paying their monthly mortgage—but what happens when an unforeseen circumstance comes such as loss of employment or death? Who will pay for the mortgage?

This is where Mortgage Protection Insurance (MPI) comes in. It protects your home investment from situations such as becoming disabled, sudden employment, or death–anything that is beyond your control. Basically, it helps you with the pay out of your mortgage repayments.

Aside from covering your monthly mortgage due to illness or death, MPI helps you protect one of your biggest investments. A mortgage ties together your financial security, your investment, and your house.

You might consider protecting your home loan if you are:

• A family with young children – in an unexpected unfortunate event, there’s a possibility that you might lose the house. MPI helps you avoid this, hence, it’s an added security to you and your family knowing they have a home to stay regardless of what can happen in the future.
• A household with single income – if one partner is dependent to the income of the other, MPI assures the continuation of your mortgage repayments if that partner lost its job.
• An investor – anything wrong can happen and securing a Mortgage Protection Insurance gives you the confidence that one of your biggest investments is protected.
