No. To cover mortgage debt an insurance company can write a life insurance policy on the mortgage holder/s. This policy usually is a term life insurance policy that in the event of death pays the balance due on the mortgage at the time of death. The term of the policy would be the length of the mortgage and the policy value decreases as the mortgage is being paid off by the policy holder, eventually expiring at the end of the term along with the mortgage. Since the benefit paid under this type of policy is constantly being reduced, and eventually becomes zero, the premiums are considerably lower than a whole life policy in which a fixed sum is payable on the death of the insured.

Does homeowner insurance cover window water damages?

As lame as it sounds: It Depends. Check closely your home owners insurance coverage policy which will lay out all of the things that will be covered. A basic policy, for example, usually covers water damage from rain, but not water damage caused by water collecting on the ground. That would normally be covered by a separate flood insurance rider.

Can two unrelated men get a mortgage together?

Yes, because the only basic requirements regarding WHO can apply for a mortgage is that they must be the owners of the property and have the ability to pay the debt. To refuse to loan money to someone who meets those basic requirements would be discrimination. Commercial lenders approve unrelated owners of property for mortgages on a regular basis. That is not an issue in the mortgage process.

Does basic motorcycle insurance cover theft?

"Basic" is vague. Generally speaking, there are two main categories of insurance: liability (which covers other people) and comprehensive (which covers your vehicle). If you have liability insurance only, it most likely won't cover theft of your motorcycle. You should talk to your insurance agent to be sure that what you want covered is covered, and that you're not paying for coverage you don't want (and aren't legally obligated to have).
