Yes, it is advisable, if you are able to afford the premium. As you aged, the mlta premium will increased exponentially. If the premium quoted are reasonable to your financial health, why not?
As I have listed all the pros and Cons between this 2 assurance at somewhere above this post.
For MLTA protection, you can get exact protection of the outstanding loan amount, given that you are able to pay the premium. For RM680,000 loan, after 8 years, your loan is RM400,000, you can only purchased protection exact loan amount and 20years tenure. So that if anything happen, you are being insured of RM400,000 during death or permanent disability.
Your premium for RM480,000 insured will depends on (age, amount insured, your health,.....) The older you gets, the higher amount insured will directly increase the premium amount.
The answer is YES. It's called mortgage LIFE term assurance. Life as in your life, it won't end when you sold of the property, so it is transferable.
Conclusion:
What to chose depends on what's your objectives
You can opt for MRTA
1. If you are tight in budget
2. Wish to reduce mortgage interest rate by pairing mrta with the loan (some allows)
3. Cash rich, knowing that your family has extended cash amount to cover the remaining installment or settle the loan when something happen to main borrower.
4. short term investment on this property, flipping in near 5 years future time being
You can opt for MLTA
1. If you want a comprehensive protection
2. an assurance of an amount to cover future outstanding amount.
3. Having family with kids.
What if I already bought a property with MLTA say cover 500k premium and its match with the property price. And if I bought another new property again for 500k, do I need to buy another MLTA or just top up from the initial one to 1 million if I opt to full coverage? Did MLTA policy will show up which property you bought and cover with? Thanks.
