You can buy life insurance on a joint life or dual life basis.

With joint life, your policy pays out on the first death then your policy ends.

With dual life, your policy pays out on first death and cover continues for the survivor.

Hi. My Life Insurance has been postponed, and I need it for a mortgage and am wondering if there is Life Insurance out there that I can get?

Obviously, for Annie, this is not good. Annie's done the hard part and saved the deposit and went and found a house to buy. However, to buy a home in Ireland, you have to get Mortgage Protection, which pays off your mortgage to the bank if you die.

Mortgage Protection Insurance clears your debt to the bank if you die.

So, if you (or your partner) meet an early, very sad end, your home becomes theirs, debt-free.

If you didn’t have Mortgage Protection, the debt would keep on keepin’ on and there’d only be one of you to pay it off – which, again, given the apocalyptic state of the housing market, would be really, really rough.

Anyway, the lender won’t actually give you a mortgage without Mortgage Protection, so you’re gonna have to cough up for it, whether you want to or not.

In this blog, we explore the different types of life insurance and provide insights on how to find the most affordable policy that fits your budget and needs.

Whether you're looking for term life insurance or mortgage protection, this article will help you compare quotes and make an informed decision.
