What is mortgage protection?
It's insurance meant to pay off, or help pay, your mortgage if something happens to you. Depending on the policy, that can include death, disability, cancer, heart attack, or stroke.
What's covered varies by carrier and policy, so always read the details before you decide.
What happens to the mortgage if you die or get sick?
The lender still expects the payment. Your family would need to keep paying from other income or savings, refinance, or possibly sell. Some loans can be taken over by an heir, but that depends on the lender and your situation.
Insurance can give your family money to help cover the payments, so those choices are less forced.
