Mortgage Insurance

Lender Mortgage Insurance	Your Own Life Insurance & Disability Plan
The mortgage lender is automatically the beneficiary	You name the beneficiary. You decide who gets the money.
The insurance is paid directly to the lender and covers your remaining mortgage balance. You have no choice.	You choose how the payment is used. It can pay off the mortgage, eliminate debts and provide money for your family.
Your mortgage amount reduces over time but your premiums stay the same. You pay more for less over time.	Your coverage amount does not decrease unless you choose. You get what you pay for the whole time.
Your insurance is not always portable. If you change mortgage companies you may lose coverage. You may have to re-qualify for insurance at the new bank / lender.	Your insurance is portable and tied to you, not the mortgage. You can change your mortgage provider and keep your insurance
You lose the coverage if the mortgage is assumed or in default	As long as premiums are paid your coverage is maintained. Even if your mortgage is assumed or in default, the life insurance remains in force.
If you cancel your coverage you lose all your premiums.	Some types of Life, Disability and Critical Illness insurance give back all or a portion of your premiums if you cancel the coverage.
Often times underwriting is done post-claim and not upfront causing problems when a claim is made.	Underwriting is done upfront so you know that you are covered if the worst happens.
