Mortgage Insurance – Often a condition of a bank loan (usually if you do not have a minimum 20% down payment), this coverage protects the titleholder or mortgage lender if the borrower is unable to meet the contractual obligations of the mortgage (due to death, defaulting on payments, et cetera). This policy may pay directly to the lender or it may pay to the heirs, depending on the terms.
Mortgage Title Insurance – This coverage protects you if a sale is later invalidated because of a problem with the title, such as if the seller does not own the property.
Mortgage Life Insurance – This is a type of life insurance specifically designed to pay off a mortgage in the event you prematurely pass away or receive a long-term disability.
