Mortgage Life Insurance is a policy designed specifically to pay off the mortgage debt, taxes and other payments, in case the borrower dies. When you buy this insurance, the company will pay your family death benefits and will pay off your mortgage.
Mortgage Life Protection Insurance comes in two forms—the decreasing term, and the level term. In decreasing term, the coverage of the policy decreases as the balance of the mortgage does. So that when the borrower dies, the insurance company pays the mortgage balance.
