About Mortgage Insurance
We have assisted in arranging the financing for the purchase of a home that you've worked so hard to obtain for your family. It's probably one of the largest financial investments you'll ever make. Now what about protecting that investment further?
Here are some important questions you should ask yourself when it comes to mortgage insurance:
- If you were to die prematurely, could your family afford to take over the mortgage?
- If you were unable to work as a result of your sickness or injury, do you have enough disability coverage to cover your current mortgage payments?
- What if you become ill or suffer a serious injury?
- Would the security of your home be jeopardized?
If you have purchased Mortgage Life Insurance you have already protected your loved ones and your investment. In the event of your death, your outstanding mortgage balance will be paid off -- allowing your family to live mortgage free. In the event of you becoming totally disabled, your insured monthly mortgage payments will continue to be made on your behalf for up to 24 months.
How much coverage is available?
The maximum amount of life insurance is $500,000 for ages 18-59 and $400,000 for ages 60-64. This means that the total of all mortgages insured for Mortgage Life through IA Pacific cannot exceed these maximums.
The maximum amount of disability insurance is $2,000 per month for ages 18-59 and $1,200 for ages 60-64. This means all monthly payments insured for disability coverage through IA Pacific cannot exceed these maximums.
There is a 60-day waiting period under the Mortgage Disability Program. This is an elimination plan, which means that benefits begin to accrue on the 61st day of your disability.
