When you arrange a mortgage with your financial institution, the law requires them to ask you if you want to insure your mortgage. This guarantees that your mortgage be paid off should you die.
You are not obligated to take mortgage life insurance from the bank you obtained your mortgage!
Everyone who understands insurance, including any trustworthy bank lending officer, will inform you that there are superior options available to you elsewhere in the market.
Examine the following features comparison and then decide how you wish to protect your family!

only pay off your mortgage. |
