Life Insurance: How It Works When You Have a Mortgage

For Australian homeowners, life insurance can play an important role in mortgage protection. Life insurance can help ensure that your mortgage is covered if anything happens to you, keeping your family financially secure. Here’s how life insurance works with a mortgage.


1. Using Life Insurance to Cover Mortgage Debt

A life insurance policy can help pay off the remaining mortgage balance, alleviating financial stress for your family.


2. Choosing the Right Coverage Amount

Calculate the coverage amount based on the remaining mortgage balance and consider adding funds to cover other financial obligations.


3. Joint Mortgage Holders and Life Insurance

If you share a mortgage with a partner, life insurance can protect both parties by covering the mortgage in case of either partner’s passing.


4. Reviewing Coverage as Your Mortgage Decreases

As the mortgage balance decreases, you may need to adjust your life insurance coverage, ensuring it aligns with your financial situation.
