Best Answer

Yes, The ex spouse may drop your name off the homeowners insurance, all the other party have to do is take out an homeowners insurance out in his/her own name. that way they know their investment is secure.

Another Perspective

No. There would be a problem if there is a pay off in the case of a catastrophe. Your ex would have to list her/his name as the owner of the property and that would be fraudulent. If it was disclosed there was a co-owner the policy would go in both names. An insurance company cannot pay only one joint owner if the property is wrecked by fire or some other disaster. If you own the property and are paying the mortgage the insurance company would be liable for paying only a half-owner. You should consult with an attorney in order to get this issue resolved.

What is the cost to add a spouse to your mortgage?

A spouse is not added to a mortgage; if the spouse already owns an interest in the property through deed or community property, then the spouse is subject to the mortgage, regardless of whether or not he or she signed it. Note, however, that many mortgages contain "due on sale" clauses which require the mortgage to be refinanced if there is a change in ownership of the property. Contact your bank to see if your loan contains such a clause.


Does home owners insurance cover the mortgage if you die?

No. Homeowners insurance provides property and liability loss insurance. It is not life or disability insurance. You can purchase a term life insurance policy that decreases in coverage along with the mortgage balance on your home. You can even purchase a joint policy that would pay the house off when the first person (like and husband and wife) dies then the policy would cease. This type of policy is cheaper than purchasing two seperate life insurance policies and still does what you want it to do, that is not leave the surviving spouse with a large mortgage balance on the home if one of you dies before the other.

Why are both spouses required to be on the property deed but not on the refinanced mortgage loan and who would be responsible upon the death of one spouse?

The deed to property and the wording of the deed establishes ownership. If a married couple does not reside in a community property state it is very important that both spouses be on the deed with the correct ownership status noted. In a case of death where only one spouse is listed on the financial agreement but both are named on the deed the probate laws apply. If the surviving spouse wishes to retain the property and he or she is not a co-buyer they will most likely be required to reaffirm the mortgage with the lender if the mortgage was not protected by insurance.

Can a separated spouse receive money from a home insurance claim they refuse to pay on?

Refused to pay on? What type of claim is it? Only the legal owner of the property can receive compensation for a property loss. Homeowners Insurance claims are typically expected to be used to repair the property. It's often paid directly to the contractor performing the repairs so the insured property owners may never actually see the check.
