Reader’s Question:
What kind of life insurance would I need to get if I only want coverage while paying my house mortgage here in Georgia? How about a decreasing life insurance policy?

Some people would find enrolling under a decreasing term life insurance policy would be best since the life insurance premiums decreases over time. This is one of the major kinds of term life or temporary life insurance where the total amount of life insurance coverage decreases as the policy matures. Lets say you take out a decreasing life insurance coverage there in Georgia with a face value amount of $100,000 that decreases $20,000 annually over a five years coverage period, by the fifth year, your premiums would have been very low however if you die within the fifth year technically your beneficiaries would only get $20,000.
An alternate would be a level term life insurance policy which would keep your rates as well as the amount of the insurance coverage level throughout the whole period. This would be more advantageous since your beneficiaries are assured of the entire coverage amount even if you happen to die during the last year of your life insurance coverage period.
So if you buy a large amount of coverage (or also known as “Face Value”) and intend to use this amount to cover the remaining mortgage amount on your house, level term life insurance would be your safest bet. It may be a bit more expensive then a decreasing life insurance term but you get the peace of mind knowing that your beneficiaries will get the full benefit amount regardless of what happens.
