Mortgage life insurance with critical illness - The basics
- Mortgage life insurance, which we call Mortgage Term Assurance, is designed to help pay off your mortgage in the event of your death.
- You can include Mortgage Critical Illness Cover with your life insurance policy at an additional cost. This is a type of mortgage protection which pays out a lump sum of money if you are diagnosed with certain specified critical illnesses, during a fixed period of time ('the term').
- The length of time you choose to be insured for is called the 'term'.
- If you die during the term, your policy will pay out a lump sum of money.
- You choose how much life cover you buy. People often want their mortgage life insurance policy to pay out the value of their mortgage or other loan.
