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.
How does paying off your mortgage affect the cost of obtaining homeowners insurance?
Depending on the insurance company they may give you a discount, usually 5- 10%.

Discounts that may be available: Mortgage Free, Monitored Alarm Discount, Multi Policy, Claims Free, Senior.
