Make sure your family keeps the house.
Mortgage protection insurance is a term life policy sized to what you still owe on your home. If you die during the term, the benefit goes to the person you named rather than to the lender, so your family can clear the loan and stay where they are instead of selling under pressure.
Match the coverage to what you still owe
Ron sizes the policy to your remaining loan balance and the years left on it, so you are not paying for protection the house does not need. Four answers is enough to start.
- ✓ Benefit goes to your family, not to the lender
- ✓ Term length set to your payoff date, not a round number
- ✓ Stacks on top of life insurance you already own

This is not PMI, and the difference is who gets paid.
Private mortgage insurance is required by your lender when the down payment is under twenty percent, and it protects the bank if you default. It pays your family nothing. Mortgage protection insurance is optional coverage you choose, and it pays your beneficiary.
Mortgage protection insurance
A term life policy sized to your mortgage balance. The benefit goes to the beneficiary you named, usually your spouse, to use however they need.
Private mortgage insurance
Required by the lender, paid by you, and paid out to the lender. Your family sees none of it.
Matched to your loan, not to a round number.
Ron sets the coverage amount and the term length against your actual remaining balance and the years left to run on it, so you are not paying for more protection than the house needs or leaving a gap where it does.
That is also why the answer changes if you refinance. A policy sized to a thirty year loan you took out eight years ago is protecting a balance that no longer exists, and it is worth re-running the numbers rather than assuming.
