Are you fully insured?
When most people think about being properly insured they think about health insurance. We all know it is smart to have it in case something happens and you need to make a trip to the hospital. Hospital bills can be very expensive, you could pay $10,000 just for one night in a hospital. But are you fully insured for any unseen events that might happen?
What happens if you become disabled? How will your family get by if you are unable to work? Who will pay your mortgage then? In this scenario they have created something called mortgage disability insurance. Your mortgage will be taken care of in the event of a disability. 50% of all foreclosures are the result of a disability and one in five people become disabled before the age of 65. If you are unwilling to take a chance with your family’s security then this is a much needed insurance policy.
There is also mortgage life insurance which works the same way, but it covers your mortgage in the event of your death instead of your disability. This mortgage protection insurance will ensure that your family can stay in your home in the event of your death. This insurance combined with term life insurance will ensure that your family is taken care of if the unthinkable should happen.
