Mortgage Life Insurance
Your home is your single largest asset, it only makes good sense to protect this investment with life insurance.
Mortgage Insurance vs. Life Insurance
Myths about Mortgage Insurance:
You have to get Mortgage Insurance when you get a mortgage, WRONG! No law in Canada says you HAVE to get Mortgage Insurance when you have a mortgage. While having Life Insurance to protect your mortgage in the event of death is a good idea, no law says you have to do this.
Banks are allowed to sell Mortgage Insurance from an unlicensed individual at the bank. Outside of the bank, agents and brokers MUST have a Life Insurance License form the province that they sell in, and they have to have Errors & Omissions Insurance to protect the public.
The simple rule is this DON'T BUY LIFE INSURANCE or MORTGAGE INSURANCE from someone unlicensed.
