Insuring Your Mortgage Through Lenders

Marc and Lorna just bought a house and, like most home buyers, they needed a mortgage. During the financing process, they were offered mortgage insurance by the lender. They wanted to know more before taking the coverage.

She was upset to learn that the life insurance coverage with the new insurer was only one times annual earnings. The previous coverage had been two and a half times annual earnings.

Critical Illness Insurance

A critical illness can happen to anyone. And it does happen to many.

Disability Insurance

Everyone who enjoys good health hopes it will last for a lifetime. But it doesn't always turn out that way.

Sometimes life throws a curve.

Injuries can happen. A disability illness could dramatically change your life, your future, your family's lifestyle, as well as your financial security. A chronic disease or disability could keep you from working. Someone in your family could become injured and require personal care services. Insurance can't prevent those things from happening. But it can help you and your family cope.
