How can owning a home impact my life insurance needs?

00:06:33 - 00:10:01
From that first set of keys to your last mortgage payment,

00:10:01 - 00:12:68
homeownership is a major milestone.

00:12:68 - 00:14:85
And just like homeowner's insurance

00:14:89 - 00:16:35
is an essential part of the journey,

00:16:35 - 00:19:98
owning a home may impact your need for life insurance too.

00:19:98 - 00:23:94
While homeowner's insurance helps protect the physical structure itself,

00:23:94 - 00:27:24
life insurance is designed to cover the people within.

00:28:45 - 00:32:62
In the face of the unexpected, life insurance can help make sure expenses

00:32:62 - 00:35:33
like your mortgage or bills are taken care of.

00:35:33 - 00:37:00
And, depending on your policy type,

00:37:00 - 00:40:83
you may even be able to borrow against it to help cover other costs.

00:40:83 - 00:44:25
To make sure your policy continues to match your needs,

00:44:25 - 00:47:80
consider periodically reviewing and adjusting your coverage.

00:47:80 - 00:51:80
New homeowners might take a mortgage or home upgrades into account.

00:51:80 - 00:54:35
If you've recently refinanced your mortgage

00:54:35 - 00:56:06
or increased your home's value,

00:56:06 - 01:00:19
it may be a good time to make sure your policy reflects those changes.

01:00:19 - 01:03:65
Paying off a mortgage is an important moment for any homeowner.

01:03:65 - 01:07:48
And while you won't have those payments, your policy may need adjustments

01:07:48 - 01:12:24
to consider costs your loved ones could be left with – like home repairs or updates.

01:12:24 - 01:15:91
The right life insurance can help meet short and long-term goals,

01:15:91 - 01:18:79
supporting those who make your home so special.
