Life Insurance To Cover Your Mortgage

Mortgage protection insurance is typically a term life policy designed to pay off your loan if you pass away during the term. For homeowners in Sherwood, Appleton, and across the Fox Valley, it means loved ones can remain in the home without scrambling to meet monthly payments. Head Insurance Agency helps you align coverage with your balance and term length so the house stays in the family.

How It Works

Choose a term length (often 20 or 30 years) and a coverage amount equal to your mortgage. Modern mortgage protection names your beneficiary—usually a spouse—so funds can pay off the loan or cover related expenses. If you prefer broader flexibility beyond the mortgage focus, review term life insurance options that can cover income replacement and other debts.

Benefits Of Mortgage Protection

It’s affordable, simple, and designed for the specific goal of keeping your home with your family. Riders like disability or return-of-premium may be available with certain carriers. For those who want coverage that lasts beyond the mortgage, whole life insurance can provide lifelong benefits.
