Mortgage Protection Insurance
Ensure your mortgage is covered in the event of death, disability, or job loss with mortgage protection insurance. Keep your family secure and your home protected—no matter what life throws your way.
Mortgage Protection Insurance: Safeguard Your Home and Loved Ones
Mortgage protection insurance (MPI) is a valuable safety net designed to ensure that your mortgage payments are covered in the event of unexpected life changes, such as death, disability, or job loss. For homeowners, this peace of mind helps secure their home and protect their family from financial burden during difficult times.
What is Mortgage Protection Insurance?
Mortgage protection insurance is a specialized form of life insurance that is intended to pay off your mortgage if you are no longer able to work due to death or disability. It can also cover your mortgage payments if you lose your job, though this depends on the specific policy.
This type of insurance ensures that your family will not have to bear the financial responsibility of your home loan in your absence, helping them stay in their home even during a challenging time.
Why Do You Need Mortgage Protection Insurance?
Financial Security for Your Family: In the unfortunate event of your death or disability, mortgage protection insurance ensures that your family is not left with the burden of paying off your mortgage. They will be able to maintain their standard of living without the risk of foreclosure.
Peace of Mind: Knowing that your mortgage payments are covered will give you peace of mind, knowing your loved ones are protected, no matter what happens.
Customizable Coverage: Mortgage protection insurance policies are designed to suit your specific needs. Depending on your circumstances, you can select coverage to pay off your entire mortgage or cover a portion of it, providing financial flexibility.
How Does Mortgage Protection Insurance Work?
Mortgage protection insurance can be purchased through various insurance providers, with coverage options that suit different budgets and needs. The coverage typically lasts for a set period of time, such as 10, 20, or 30 years—matching the length of your mortgage.
If something happens and you can no longer make payments due to death, injury, or illness, your insurer will pay your lender directly, ensuring that your home remains protected.
The benefit can either be paid out as a lump sum to pay off your mortgage or as a monthly benefit to cover payments over time.
Should You Get Mortgage Protection Insurance?
While mortgage protection insurance can offer valuable benefits, it’s not always necessary for everyone. Here are some factors to consider:
You Have Life Insurance: If you already have life insurance with a large enough benefit to pay off your mortgage, you may not need separate mortgage protection insurance.
You Have a Solid Emergency Fund: If you’ve saved enough money to cover several months of mortgage payments in case of job loss or disability, MPI may not be essential.
Your Family’s Financial Stability: If you have a financial plan or other assets that could support your mortgage payments in case of an emergency, you may decide MPI is not necessary.

FAQs
Find answers to commonly asked questions about life insurance and Synergy Life's offerings.
What is Mortgage Protection Insurance?
MPI is a type of insurance policy that pays off your remaining mortgage balance if you die during the policy term. It can also cover mortgage payments in case of disability or job loss, depending on the policy.
How much does Mortgage Protection Insurance cost?
MPI policyholders typically pay a minimum of $50 a month for a standard policy. However, the exact cost varies depending on factors such as age, health, and the amount of coverage required.
Who receives the death benefit from a Mortgage Protection Insurance policy?
Unlike traditional life insurance, the death benefit from an MPI policy goes directly to your mortgage lender to pay off the loan, not to your family or beneficiaries.
How long does the coverage last?
The coverage period depends on the policy you choose. Some policies offer coverage for a specific period, while others may provide coverage until the mortgage is fully paid off.
How does Mortgage Protection Insurance differ from Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI)?
MPI is optional and protects your family by covering mortgage payments if you can't make them, while PMI is typically required for borrowers with less than 20% down payment and protects the lender if the borrower defaults on the loan.
