What is mortgage protection insurance?

Mortgage protection insurance is a life insurance policy that pays off your mortgage balance if you die before it's paid off. Your family keeps the home without the burden of mortgage payments. Unlike traditional PMI (which protects the lender), mortgage protection protects YOUR family.

How is mortgage protection different from regular life insurance?

Regular term life insurance pays a fixed death benefit directly to your beneficiaries to use however they choose. Mortgage protection is specifically designed to match your mortgage balance — it can also include living benefits like disability protection. Many Indiana homeowners actually prefer a larger term life policy that covers the mortgage AND provides income replacement.

Do I need a medical exam to qualify?

Many mortgage protection policies use simplified underwriting — no medical exam, just a few health questions. Even applicants with health conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure can often qualify. Fully underwritten policies are also available at lower premiums for those in good health.

How much does mortgage protection cost?

For a typical $250,000 mortgage, a healthy 35-year-old can expect to pay $25–$50/month for a 30-year term policy. Rates depend on your age, health, loan balance, and term length. We shop multiple carriers to find you the best rate.

Can I get mortgage protection with disability coverage?

Yes! Many mortgage protection policies include a waiver of premium rider or disability income rider, so your mortgage payments are covered if you become disabled — not just if you die. This is one of the most valuable add-ons for Indiana homeowners.

Is mortgage protection right for me if I already have life insurance?

If your existing life insurance death benefit is large enough to pay off your mortgage AND replace your income for your family, you may already have adequate coverage. We'll review your current policy and help you decide if a standalone mortgage protection policy adds value or if increasing your existing coverage is more cost-effective.

Why Indiana Homeowners Need Mortgage Protection

The average Indiana home costs $245,000. If you died today, your family would still owe that balance — and have 30 days to figure it out. Mortgage protection makes sure the house is paid off so they can stay in the home they love, no matter what.

Keep the Family Home

If you die with a mortgage, your family still owes every payment. Mortgage protection pays the balance so they can stay in the home they love.

Disability Coverage

Many policies include living benefits — if you become disabled and cannot work, your mortgage payments are covered while you recover.

Affordable Coverage

Because coverage decreases as your mortgage balance decreases, premiums are often lower than standard term life insurance for the same initial amount.

Simplified Underwriting

Many mortgage protection plans require no medical exam — just a few health questions. Faster approval means your home is protected sooner.

Critical Illness Rider

Add a critical illness rider to cover your mortgage if you are diagnosed with cancer, heart attack, or stroke — before a death claim is ever needed.

Both Spouses Covered

We can cover both spouses under a joint policy, ensuring the home is protected no matter who is lost first. Simple, comprehensive, and affordable.

Indiana Homeowners Who Chose Peace of Mind

Jason & Amber R.
