Life Insurance and Your Home

Dealing with the loss of a family member is stressful enough without your survivors having to worry about losing their home, too. Make sure you carry enough life insurance to pay off the mortgage or enable loved ones to continue making mortgage or rent payments.

Occasions for reviewing your life insurance coverage include:

Taking on a new or bigger mortgage

Trading up to a new home — and a bigger mortgage — means your family will need more money to remain in the home they love should something happen to you. Increasing your life insurance coverage to make up the difference can help your family continue to meet mortgage payments and remain in your home.

Did you know? There are two ways you can use life insurance to help protect your family's home in the event of your death: 1. Provide an amount sufficient to pay the mortgage in full. 2. Enable your loved ones to continue to meet monthly mortgage payments Consult your tax advisor to help determine an approach that's best for you.

Taking on debt or borrowing money

Financing a car, charging purchases to a credit card, or taking out a home equity loan can be affordable as long as you’re earning income, but if your income stops, so do your payments. Make sure your family has enough money to cover these debts.
