Yes, Just make sure you buy the policy in the name of the legally recorded owner of the house. If you also have an interest in the home then have your name added to the policy as well to cover your interests in the property.

You'll need your name on the policy as well so you can check status, make changes, file claims, etc..

Will a claim be paid if insurance is in one name and home is in another?

No, most likely the claim will not be denied. If the owner of the home is not listed on the policy as an insured then the owner is uninsured and the company must by law deny payment of the claim. Every Homeowners Insurance contract requires disclosure of the legal owner at he time of application. If the property changes ownership during the policy term the Insurance Policy is automatically null and void at the moment ownership changes. The new owner has to make application and qualify for their own Insurance Policy. It is against the law to insure a home or property in which you have no insurable interest.
