Despite popular belief, you do not need to obtain Permanent Disability Insurance in order to get a mortgage. The only insurance required by law when obtaining a mortgage is Building Insurance.
The reason why people purchase Permanent Disability Insurance is to protect their family’s future if they become permanently disabled and are unable to work as a result of an accident or illness. Permanent Disability Insurance provides a lump-sum payment, usually tax-free, that can be used to pay for a wide variety of expenses such as:
- Paying for their spouse or another family member to take time off work in order to provide assistance and support.
- Making lifestyle adjustments, such as changing where they live, remodelling their home, and paying off debts such as credit cards, personal loans, and mortgages.
- Paying for extra expenses such as transportation to medical appointments or supplemental daycare.
- Settling a mortgage or other debt.
- Putting money aside for day-to-day living expenditures as their income is often reduced.
