Is Mortgage Protection the same as Life Insurance?

Although these terms are often confused with one another there is, in fact, a clear distinction. Mortgage Protection Insurance (MPI) has one purpose: to help you pay off your mortgage. The payments will stop once your mortgage has been paid off in full. In contrast, a Life Insurance payout can be used in any way you (or your beneficiary, depending on the cover and the event) see fit, whether that is towards a mortgage or other regular outgoings.

Typically, an MPI benefit will reduce as your mortgage decreases. Life Insurance cover usually increases with the cost of living, depending on the type of cover you have.
