Abstract

A computer and communications system facilitates the administration of a mortgage and life insurance combination program in which all or a portion of the funds normally used as a down payment are used to purchase a life insurance policy. The system includes computer subsystems of a program coordinator, mortgage originators, life insurance companies, depository companies and at least one mortgage insurance company. Preferably, the system also includes the computer subsystem of licensed insurance agents. Each of the computer subsystems includes communication apparatus and software for sending communications to and receiving communications from other ones of the computer subsystems. The program coordinator maintains a database of information concerning all program participants and the products they have purchased or for which they are applying. The mortgage originator selects mortgage applicants financially eligible to participate in the combined program, determines which ones are interested in potentially participating in the combined program, and refers those applicants to the program coordinator. Each life insurance company participating in the program has facilities for establishing 7-pay life insurance policies, and for establishing associated premium deposit accounts for holding the 2nd, 3rd and 4th annual life insurance premiums associated with 7-pay life insurance policies. Each depository company has facilities for establishing mortgage collateral accounts to hold the 5th, 6th and 7th annual life insurance premiums associated with 7-pay life insurance policies. Scheduling software schedules events associated with the mortgage and life insurance application and closing process as well as funds flows and other events subsequent to the closing.
