If you have a mortgage on your home in town, you have probably gotten several offers from insurance companies that sell coverage to pay off your mortgage if you die unexpectedly. Insurance is a good idea in most cases, however, mortgage insurance is usually a poor value.
If you read the large print, it looks like the policy will protect your family if you die before your mortgage is paid off. All you have to do is fill out the paperwork, have a physical exam, and pay a little more each month. The fine print, however, may limit the coverage to accidental death. If there are two people on the deed of trust, the policy may pay only half if one of them dies. If you are considering mortgage insurance, call a good insurance agent before you send in your forms. Insurance experts usually advise against separate policies to cover various contingencies. A regular term life insurance policy equal to the amount of your mortgage will probably offer you a lot more coverage for your money.
