Mortgage Life Insurance
The majority of mortgage holders are under the impression that obtaining a classic mortgage life insurance policy - also called decreasing term life insurance - is the best way to insure their family is protected in case of one's death.
That is not the case. The cheapest and best way is to buy a term life insurance policy with a term equal to the mortgage term. For example, if you have a 30 year mortgage, you should get a 30 year term life insurance policy - this way your family is protected for the full term of the mortgage, and they will receive the entire amount of the initial policy, it will not decrease.
