AI summary
While not legally required for a mortgage, life insurance is highly recommended to protect your family from debt if you pass away. Your lender will, however, mandate house insurance before approving your home loan.
A good life insurance policy helps cover the remaining mortgage, funeral costs, and living expenses for your loved ones. The right amount of cover depends on your personal circumstances.
Homeowners should also consider other policies like income protection and mortgage protection insurance for comprehensive financial security.
