Would your family lose the house without you?

The mortgage doesn't stop when a paycheck does. Without a plan, the people you love could be forced to choose between draining their savings and selling the home.

The solution

Mortgage protection

If you pass away, it pays a lump sum to your family so they can pay off the house and stay in it. Some plans also pay you early if you're diagnosed with a serious illness.

  • No medical exam

    No needles or doctor visits. Just answer a few health questions.

  • Money-back option

    Choose a plan that returns your premiums if you outlive the policy.

  • Covers your full balance

    Coverage matched to what you owe and the years left on your loan.

Common questions

Questions? We've got you.

  • No. Family Guards is run by licensed life insurance agents and isn't affiliated with your lender or any government agency. Many homeowners get official-looking mail about "mortgage protection" after closing. This is the same type of coverage, but you choose the plan and the carrier.

  • Your family. The policy pays a lump sum to the beneficiaries you choose, generally income-tax free. They can pay off the mortgage, keep making payments, or use it for anything else they need.

  • No. We only offer plans that don't require a medical exam, blood work or a doctor visit. You answer a few health questions and the carrier reviews your application.

  • Some plans return your premiums if you outlive the policy term. They cost more than standard coverage, and you need to keep the policy for the full term to get everything back. Your agent can show you both options side by side.

  • Most homeowners match their coverage to their mortgage balance and the years left on the loan. Some add a little extra for other debts. Your agent will help you pick an amount that fits your budget.

  • Often not. Work coverage is usually tied to your job, so it typically ends if you leave or get laid off. It's also often just one or two times your salary, which may not cover your mortgage. A personal policy stays with you.

  • You may still qualify. Carriers accept different health conditions, including many people with diabetes or high blood pressure. Your agent will match you with carriers that fit your health history.

  • A licensed agent will call you to go over your options. The call takes about 10 to 15 minutes, and many people are approved on that same call. There's no obligation to buy.

  • Yes, anytime. Every policy also has a free-look period, typically 10 to 30 days depending on your state, when you can cancel for a full refund.
