Do I need to take out mortgage amortization insurance or when I apply for a loan? What is loan and mortgage amortization insurance for?
Loan and mortgage amortization insurance is not mandatory, but it is highly recommended. These insurances protect the financial institution against possible default due to the death or disability of the borrower. These insurances are life policies that cover the debt, so that they avoid putting at risk the assets of the heirs in case of death. Normally, you can also take out an additional guarantee for absolute disability.
The amortization insurance premium can be paid in installments (monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually) in the case of renewable annual life insurance, or make a single down payment of the policy (single premium insurance). This depends on the type of insurance and the capital you want to insure.
We recommend that you take out renewable annual life insurance. Financed single premium insurance generates a lot of interest and, in addition, ties you to the bank, because once you hire them, you have to pay them.
Amortization insurance is a type of life insurance in which the insured capital coincides with the amount to be amortized. These have the same duration as the mortgage loan or loan. The amount of the capital guaranteed at the time of the death (or contingency covered) of the insured will be the same as the outstanding capital of the mortgage or loan immediately following the last maturity.
In addition, there is another type of insurance in which the amount to be paid in the event of death, or disability (if applicable), remains unchanged throughout the entire duration of the insurance contract. In these cases, the insurance company will pay the credit institution the amount pending amortization and the excess to the rest of the persons designated as beneficiaries in the policy.
