Mortgage protection insurance in Texas
Keeping the house if the unexpected happens, in a state where foreclosure can move quickly.
Mortgage protection insurance is life insurance designed to pay off or keep up a mortgage if the borrower dies, and some policies include disability or critical illness benefits. For Texas homeowners, timing matters: Texas uses a non-judicial foreclosure process.
Why Texas's foreclosure process matters
In a non-judicial state like Texas, a lender can generally foreclose under the deed of trust's power-of-sale clause without going to court. That can make the process faster than in states that require a court case, which sharpens the case for having coverage in place before it's needed.
Mortgage protection vs term life
Many mortgage protection policies are decreasing term policies whose benefit shrinks as the loan is paid down, and some pay the lender directly. A level term life policy pays a fixed amount to your beneficiaries, who can decide how to use it. Compare both.
Common questions
No. Lenders require homeowners insurance, not mortgage protection or life insurance.
