Secure Your Home. Protect Your Family’s Future.
Your home is more than an asset, it’s where memories live. Mortgage insurance keeps it safe for those you love.
Mortgage insurance is designed to pay off the balance of your mortgage if you pass away. Unlike lender-provided mortgage insurance, advisor-recommended policies are personally owned, meaning:
-
You choose the beneficiary (not the bank)
-
Your family receives the payout directly
-
Your coverage stays with you even if you switch mortgage lenders.
Why Personalized Mortgage Insurance is the Smarter Choice

Payout goes directly to your loved ones, not to the bank.

Protection can match or exceed your mortgage balance.

Coverage is uninterrupted even if you switch lenders.

Benefit remains the same while bank coverage shrinks over time.
-
Premiums don’t change, even if you refinance the mortgage.
-
Health checked at application to avoid surprises later.

Lender-provided coverage protects the bank, not your family.
With lender-provided insurance, the bank owns the policy and is the only beneficiary. Coverage usually ends if you refinance or change lenders, forcing you to reapply at a higher cost, as you’re older and your health status may have changed. The coverage only matches the outstanding mortgage balance and declines as the loan is repaid, but premiums stay the same. Underwriting is often done only at claim time, which can result in denied payouts.
With personally owned mortgage insurance, you own the policy, name your loved ones as beneficiaries, and keep coverage even if you move or switch lenders. You decide how much protection you need – it can match or exceed your mortgage balance. Premiums are locked in, coverage stays level, and underwriting is done upfront, so there are no surprises at claim time. The payout goes directly to your loved ones, who can use it however they need.
No. Your policy is portable. It stays with you, regardless of where you bank or refinance.
Not necessarily. In fact, individually owned mortgage protection is often more cost-effective, with stronger benefits and flexibility.
The coverage is still yours. You can keep it to provide extra protection for your family or adjust the policy to match your new financial goals.
