One policy stands between your family and the bank.

A mortgage is a promise to keep paying — $2,659 a month on a typical Massachusetts home worth $525,800. Mortgage protection is the safety net under that promise: if you're gone, it pays the balance so the bank is settled and your family stays put. It defends the people you're responsible for, not the lender. Massachusetts's housing market runs hot (above 47 of 51 states), which means a larger loan behind the front door.

• Guarantees the loan gets paid even if your income can't
• Shields your family from foreclosure pressure during grief
• Coverage that follows your balance down as you pay it off

A safety net for the one bill that can't lapse

Miss enough mortgage payments and the outcome in Massachusetts is the same everywhere: the lender takes the home. Mortgage protection is built for exactly that failure point — it settles the $525,800-range balance so a loss of income never becomes a loss of the house.
