WHY IT MATTERS

Coverage designed for homeownership

Your home is likely your largest asset. The right life insurance policy protects it — and gives your family options even if something happens while you're still alive.

Protect your mortgage

If you pass away, your policy can provide the funds needed to pay off or maintain the mortgage — so your family isn't forced to sell their home.

Cover income & home costs

Property taxes, maintenance, utilities — a policy sized to your real expenses keeps your family's budget intact if your income disappears.

Help during a serious illness

Living Benefits may allow you to access part of your death benefit early if you're diagnosed with a qualifying illness — so you can focus on recovery, not bills.

THE CLEAR DIFFERENCE

More than traditional term life

Standard term life only pays when you die.
Living Benefits give your family access to funds when you may need them most.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

View all FAQs →

Buying a home is one of the most common triggers for getting life insurance. Your mortgage is a large, long-term obligation — if something happened to you, your family would need funds to maintain or pay off that debt.

Yes. If you qualify for a Living Benefits claim due to a covered illness, the funds can be used for any purpose — including mortgage payments, medical bills, or household expenses while you recover.

Many homeowners choose a 20- or 30-year term to align with their mortgage. That said, your overall income replacement needs and family situation should also factor into the right term length for you.

Group life insurance through an employer is typically 1–2× your salary — not enough to cover a large mortgage and income replacement. It also ends if you change jobs. A personal policy gives you the right amount and stays with you.
