Private Mortgage Insurance has become available in nearly every country in the world in the past ten years. The laws pertaining to mortgage insurance varies of course in every country.

If you have mortgage insurance that covers the reason of your income loss (disability, involuntary unemployment) then the insurance company will pay the premiums according to your policy's benefits schedule. If you don't have mortgage insurance, you can use savings, retirement funds, borrow money, or you can try to negociate your mortgage terms with your lender. Unfortunately, many mortgage clients believe they don't need mortgage insurance and they find themselves forced to file for bankruptcy and lose their home if something happens. The PMI (private mortgage insurance) will protect your mortgage payments and help you keep your home!
