Perhaps it’s mercy, but many of us barely comprehend the degree of financial exposure we submit to in the ordinary course of life. Take, for instance, the mortgage on your home. This represents a hugh, multi- . thousand dollar debt. If a husband dies, it could be a staggering burden for a widow.
True, the house itself is security for the debt. In theory, you simply sell the house and use the proceeds to pay off the loan. But if the house is sold, the family will have to find other quarters. Also, a sudden sale may bring a poor price, thus wiping out the family's important equity.
