I understand the MRTA is merely to protect the bank and not so much the borrower if the property is in 1 person's name. Meaning if i buy a property and its in my name only and i dont take a MRTA and if i die, the bank cannot come after my wife or dependants. But if i take the MRTA i have to pay the extra few thousand premium and then if i die the MRTA pays off the remaining loan amount to the bank.
Can someone clarify?
Which housing loan protection to choose?
