Does it mean you default on your mortgage if you drop your homeowners insurance?

Usually, not in and of itself.
A mortgage will require that the borrower maintain physical damage protection on the structure. It does so to protect its interest in the house, because the loan is secured by the house. Therefore, if a casualty destroys the house, in whole or in part, the lender wants to make sure that it is repaired so as to preserve its value.
If homeowners insurance is dropped, or it lapses for nonpayment of premium, the insurer will notify the lienholder of that fact. The lienholder will require the borrower to produce proof of replacement coverage within a given time period. If the borrower does not, the lienholder can get "single interest" coverage. This is a kind of policy covers only the lienholder's interest in the property. The premium for that coverage is initially paid by the lienholder, but then added to the mortgage balance.
Dropping your home Hazard insurance is one of the listed default conditions of your mortgage contract, but usually will not cause a foreclosure proceeding to initiate. It can however be the first sign that a foreclosure is imminent.

Can your ex spouse drop your name off the homeowners' insurance if you are still on the property deed and mortgage?
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 PerspectiveNo. 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.

An insurance company cannot drop you in the middle of a claim.

What does Private Mortgage Insurance cover?
PMI is not a product that you purchase from an insurance agent like myself. It is an insurance policy that covers the bank if your mortgage is foreclosed on. Generally PMI is required by the bank if you are financing 80% or more of the value of the home. The insurance covers the bank but you are required to pay the premiums. After your mortgage balance falls below 80% of appraised value you can and should drop the coverage. The bank will not notify you of this so you have to tell them.

Answer Mortgage insurance is usually required by the lender if the loan is in excess of 80% of the loan value of the property. A mortgage insurer is usually an investor or a group of investors. In most states there is no requirement for mortgage insurance when the loan is 80% or below the value of the property. A simple letter to the lender will usually get the mortgage insurance cancelled.
