Not knowing the difference could cost you!
Knowing the difference when it comes to protecting your home and your family’s future, in the choice between term life insurance and mortgage insurance is about so much more than just numbers-it’s about peace of mind and true security for the people you love most.
Term Life Insurance stands out because it puts your family first. If the unthinkable happens, your loved ones receive a guaranteed, TAX-FREE benefit that can be used for anything they need: paying off the mortgage, covering daily living expenses, funding your children’s education, or simply maintaining the lifestyle you’ve worked so hard to build together.
Unlike Mortgage Insurance, which only pays the lender and loses value as your mortgage shrinks, term insurance ensures your family-not the bank-has control and flexibility when they need it most. Your coverage doesn’t disappear if you move or refinance, and your premiums buy real, lasting protection.
Choosing Term Life Insurance is an act of love and responsibility, giving your family the security and freedom to face the future with confidence-no matter what life brings.

Term Life Insurance and Mortgage Insurance may seem similar, but Term Insurance offers significantly greater value and flexibility for most clients. Term life insurance provides coverage for a set period-such as 10, 20, or 30 years or the years of your mortgage and pays a fixed, tax-free benefit directly to your chosen beneficiaries if you pass away during the term. This payout can be used for any purpose: to pay off the mortgage, cover living expenses, fund education, or provide for your family’s future needs.
In contrast, mortgage insurance is tied specifically to your mortgage and only pays off the remaining balance directly to the lender if you die while the mortgage is outstanding. The coverage amount with mortgage insurance decreases as your mortgage is paid down, but your premiums often remain the same. This means you pay more for less coverage over time. Additionally, mortgage insurance is not portable if you switch lenders or pay off your mortgage, your coverage ends.
Term life insurance, on the other hand, is fully portable and remains in force regardless of changes to your mortgage or lender.
For most families, term life insurance is not only more cost-effective but also provides broader, more flexible protection, making it the smarter choice for securing your family’s financial future.
