Protecting your home is one of the most important things you can do.

For the reasons outlined above, Mortgage Life Insurance - also known as Mortgage Protection is usually a requirement of getting a mortgage. However, because mortgages tend to be very long term arrangements, it can often get overlooked or forgotten about.
