Protecting the home you bought

Mortgage Protection Insurance in Chicago

Coverage matched to home loans on bungalows, two-flats and condos from Portage Park to Bridgeport.

So the House Stays in the Family

For most Chicago families the mortgage is the largest bill they have, and losing an income can put the home itself at risk. Mortgage protection insurance is term life coverage sized to what is left on your home loan and set to run for the years remaining on it, so a surviving spouse or partner can pay it off or keep making payments without selling. Life Insurance Chicago Illinois sets these policies up for new buyers, families who just refinanced and owners of two-flats who rely on rental income to carry the loan. Because the benefit goes to your family rather than the lender, they decide whether to pay off the house or use the money for something more pressing. We start with your balance, rate and years remaining, then show you term amounts that line up with the loan.

What Mortgage Protection Covers

These are the details we work through when matching coverage to a home loan.

  • Balance-matched benefit

    We size the benefit to your current loan balance, with room for taxes and insurance if you want it.

  • Term matched to the loan

    The policy runs for the years left on the mortgage, whether that is fifteen or thirty.

  • Benefit paid to your family

    Your beneficiary receives the money and decides how to use it, not the bank.

  • Two-income households

    We look at whether one policy, two policies or a joint approach makes the most sense.

  • Refinance updates

    When you refinance or move, we review whether the coverage still matches the loan.

  • Rental income consideration

    For two-flat and three-flat owners, we factor in what happens if rental income changes.

  • Level premiums

    The premium stays the same for the full term so it fits next to the mortgage payment.

  • Existing coverage check

    We count coverage you already have so you only buy the difference.

How We Match Coverage to Your Mortgage

  1. Look at the loan

    We ask for your balance, the years left and whether you rely on rental income. That tells us how much coverage and how long. It takes about fifteen minutes.

  2. Compare term options

    You see a few term amounts and lengths that match the loan, with monthly costs side by side. We point out where a slightly shorter term could save money.

  3. Apply and keep it current

    We complete the application with you by phone and follow it through. If you refinance or move later, call and we will make sure the coverage still fits.
