There should be a "Mortgagee Clause" listed in the policy conditions which will outline the relationship. Most of the time (it depends on the state), the mortgagee and the insurer are in a separate contract than the named insured (homeowner) and the insurer are. What that means is, if a loss occurs, and for some reason the named insured is not paid for the claim (most often because the insured may found to be committing insurance fraud), then the mortgagee can still be indemnified for the loss. However, the clause may also contain language that holds the mortgagee to certain conditions. These conditions might include, that the mortgagee has paid the premium, and that they have notified the insurance company of any changes in the risk, such as a vacancy. Mortgage holders can also file claims on their properties in foreclosure. This can be a very complicated process. Often times, the insurer will have to find out whether or not the mortgagee has suffered a financial loss because of the damages. Adjusters have to research what phase the foreclosure is in, if it has been sold, how much the property was sold for, what the remaining amount was on the note when the foreclosure took place, and what the amount of damages are. If they made money on the selling of the property from the foreclosure and sold it for more then what was remaining on the note, they may not be entitled to insurance dollars because there is no financial loss. In addition, the mortgagee is required to be listed on payments that exceed a certain dollar amount (it depends on the regulations of that particular state's Department of Insurance). So when homeowners have a loss, they can often find their mortgagee listed on their payment.
