Mortgage Insurance


Mortgage Insurance and Term Life InsuranceHere are a few things to keep in mind when it comes to mortgage insurance:

  • Traditional Mortgage Insurance is usually purchased without a medical examination. These policies have a blended rate and are much higher in price than a fully underwritten term life insurance policy.
  • You should look at a fully underwritten policy to lower your life insurance costs.
  • Some of the old 30 year mortgage products only have a 10 year rate guarantee.  In other words, after 10 years, the insurance company can increase your premium.
  • If you have a current mortgage insurance policy, check your coverage and contact us.  You may be able to have a fully guaranteed policy with a lower premium.

We at Stuart Woodbury Insurance pride ourselves in providing low cost life insurance.  Our 25 years of experience have taught us to focus on the needs of our clients in an honest and straightforward way. With a mission to provide the lowest cost term life insurance policy available, we’re always here to help.

Life Insurance for Non-Married Couples


Life Insurance for Non-Married CouplesLife insurance is an important financial step to consider for couples that are not married.

Here are a few things to consider:

  • Life insurance for unmarried couples can be used to pass on assets while maximizing estate tax savings. (Savings can then be used to pay off any remaining mortgages, cover living expenses, or supplement the surviving partner’s replacement income or retirement.
  • Non-married couples can find it difficult to legally prove that, in the unexpected death of one partner, the remaining partner would be hurt financially.  Accordingly, it is recommended that a non-married couple obtain a written domestic partner agreement to prevent any future unforeseen problems.
  • Couples can also transfer ownership of a policy directly to the said chosen beneficiary.

It is recommended that couples who are not married check with their life insurance company to verify what policies work best for their family’s needs.  Life insurance is a way to financially plan for your family’s future, despite what your marital status may be.

Just Married


Life Insurance After Getting MarriedMarriage is an important milestone in an individual’s life. Did you know that this decision will impact your financial situation?

Life insurance is an important consideration when it comes to the future of your new family’s financial decisions. The best time to decide on a life insurance policy is when couples are first married. Couples are able to decide together what the best life insurance policy is for the unforeseen death of a spouse and financial security of their children due to a spouse’s loss of income. Rates are considerably lower for couples at this stage, rather than later on in life. Couples who have been married for years should also consider their life insurance policy. Couples with a mortgage and other financial obligations should plan on having enough life insurance to be able to pay off the remainder of their debts in the result of a spouse’s death.

While marriage is a happy and hopeful time in one’s life, it is important to plan for your new family’s financial future.

We at Stuart Woodbury Insurance are proud of our 25 years of experience in the business. We pride ourselves in focusing on the needs of our clients in an honest and straightforward way.
