Should I Have Life Insurance To Run Alongside My Mortgage?


The answer is yes, you should have both a life insurance policy and a mortgage run side by side. To understand why, you have to understand what they are. Life insurance is insurance for your dependants. Should you die, they will be able to continue with their current lifestyle. They will not, for example, be forced to move because they cannot afford the mortgage. Another good example is your kids’ school – they can keep going to the same school because they can afford the fees.

The kind of insurance policy that you take out depends on when you take it out. That said, it is always better to buy a term policy that allows you to opt out after a number of years. If you take out a policy when your kid is 5 years old, for instance, and you estimate that they will be independent by the time they are 20, you can take out a life insurance policy for 15 years after which you can cash out. That said, you should think about your wife or husband especially if they doesn’t have a source of income.

A mortgage is something completely different. It is a loan to buy a home. Mortgages tend to be long term, usually more than 20 years. When you have finished or are close to finishing your mortgage, you can take out another mortgage or a re-mortgage.
