The bank must make payments of these items from the account on time, if you kept an escrow account with the bank and carried out regular deposits for the taxes and insurance payment. If the bank does not pay the insurance premium on time and the insurance policy is cancelled, the bank must either get in touch with the insurance company and make them reinstate the policy, or buy a policy with another company. Nevertheless, within this time you keep being liable for continuing the insurance payment through your escrow account.

An escrow account is funds put aside for a future liability. Two common examples relating to a home: If you bought a house and there was a repair needed to be done and paid for by the seller, but the repair couldn't be completed before settlement, the seller might be required to set aside adequate funds in an escrow account, controlled by a third party. When the repair was completed, the third party would pay the bill from the escrow account and return any remaining funds to the seller. Also, some mortgage companies require the home owner to pay money into an escrow account every month to cover 1/12 of the cost of real estate taxes and homeowners insurance. Then the mortgage company issues payment for those items when they are due. This way, the mortgage company knows that those payments will be made, protecting their collateral.
It depends on whether you have a mortgage loan or not. The previous insurance company will send you a check for the excess amount paid to them, but if there is a lien on your property and your insurance check is set up in an escrow account, then you will have to sign and forward that check to your lender. That money will then go into the escrow account and sit there until the lender does a yearly evaluation and sees that your escrow account has an excess amount of money in it. Then you will get a refund on your overpaid insurance premiums. I am going through the exact same thing right now as I have just recently switched companies myself.
