Insurance: Protect more than just your home

When you buy a home, you need a way to help protect yourself and your family financially, no matter what happens.

Your bank/lending institution probably talked to you about mortgage insurance (also called creditor insurance) when you bought your house. It means if you die, your mortgage is paid off.

But is mortgage insurance the best option for you?

If you want to protect more than just your home, individual insurance may better suit your needs. Individual insurance generally provides more control, options and benefits to help you financially protect what matters most.

By comparing mortgage and individual life insurance, you ensure you’re giving yourself and your family the type of insurance protection that meets your needs.

A financial security advisor is a trusted professional who can help you build a financial security plan to help protect your mortgage and what matters most in your life.
