Your home...
  • A valuable asset
  • Your first major financial commitment
3
To protect it...
  • Does your current mortgage insurance offer you such regular coverages as:
    • protection in case of death (life insurance)
    • protection in case of disability
    • protection in case of critical illness

Right now...
  • Does your disability coverage offer you:
    • the payment of your benefits regardless of the duration of your disability?
    • the full payment of your monthly mortgage instalment?
    • an insurance premium that does not increase with the interest rates?
6
Are you sure...
  • … that you are fully covered by your current insurance?
  • Or simply,
  • … that you are even INSURED?
7
Uncertainty...
  • Is your financial institution able to certify that you are insured without even having checked your state of health?
  • Most financial institutions check your state of health... but only when you make a claim.


8
The consequences...
  • Some people are declined a benefit just when they need it most!
  • Could this happen to you?
