MORTGAGE PROTECTION ASSURANCE WRITE-UP

This is a Mortgage Protection policy aimed at providing protection of the property and financial security to the borrowers and lenders.

A mortgage is an interest acquired by the creditor/lender in say a house or other property as a form of security/collateral offered by a debtor/borrower for repayment of a debt. If a vital event of death occurs to the debtor/borrower, then the property is put to sale in order to recover the outstanding balances. This is prejudicial to the debtor’s/borrower’s spouse or dependants who would have lost the mortgaged house or property and it would somewhat tarnish the creditor’s/lender’s reputation. As far as the creditor is concerned, he has to have financial interest in the borrower. That financial interest is insurable so that if the borrower died before full repayment of the money, the proceeds of the insurance policy would defray the outstanding balance. The deceased borrower’s spouse or dependants would be happy to remain with the mortgaged house or property and the creditor would avoid their wrath, as he would have not sold the property to recover the outstanding balance.

In order to facilitate the above, it is advisable for the borrower to pursue a mortgage protection assurance policy from a reputable company like NIC Life Assurance Company Ltd. This policy may be a long- term contract running as long as 5 to 20 years. It is issued on a decreasing term basis since the sums assured or the monies lent are expected to progressively fall as the client repays the loan.
