Who gets the money

With the lender’s insurance, the lender is generally the beneficiary, and the amount shrinks with the loan balance. With an individual policy, you choose the beneficiary. Your spouse then receives a sum to use as they see fit, including to pay off the house.

At renewal

If you change lenders, insurance tied to the loan may not follow you. An individual policy stays in force. Read that clause before you sign, not when you renew.

Why there is no price here

The price depends on your age, your health, whether you smoke, and the amount insured. Without those, a figure would mean nothing.
