This is usually taken out with a mortgage and is sometimes called Decreasing Term Assurance. The Sum Assured will reduce every year so that at the end of the term the Sum Assured will be zero. This cover is designed to pay off your mortgage should you die within the term of your mortgage.
It is recommended to add Serious Illness to your Mortgage Protection Policy so that your mortgage is paid off should you be diagnosed with a specified Serious Illness during the term of your mortgage.
