    Mortgage protection insurance is a marketing name used by a number of different types of insurance. It is also a term that generically applies ot any insurance that can be used with a mortgage.

    The insurances that are generally considered (but not necessarily required) are:
    life assurance
    critical illness cover
    Permanent health insurance (PHI)
    Payment protection insurance (PPI)
    (in no particular order)
