Unless the person died while wrecking the car, no. I believe you are looking for a type of life insurance that pays the loan balance upon death of the owner of the loan and vehicle. This is mortgage life insurance.
Most policies do not cover damage caused by pest.
NO Please better state your question. Fair? Fair Plan? Who kills your dog? Who pays for it?
As long as the estate is active and has not been probated, the beneficiaries have no interest in the home yet. Another issue here is that if no one is living in the home you cannot buy a homeowners policy on the home. Once the owner died the homeowners insurance is only good for 90 days after the home was no longer occupied, whether or not you are paying for the homeowners policy. The best you will get if it burns is a return of part of your premium. What you need to get is a Dwelling Fire policy and make sure it is listed as vacant. The answer to your question is whoever legally owns the home should sign the application. Once the estate is probated the home transfers ownership them the beneficiaries sign a new application for a homeowners application. To qualify for the homeowners policy the owner and occupant must be the same person or persons.
The mortgage insurance you are referring to is most likely the standard mortgage insurance that is on a loan above 80% of the value of the house. This MI covers the lender in case of the borrower defaulting on the loan. It does nothing to help the borrower. If you are on the deed then you still own the house if your husband dies but if you cannot either refinance the mortgage or continue to pay the monthly payments then the lender will ultimately foreclose on the house and repossess it. What you need is a life insurance policy that will pay off the balance on the mortgage in case of the death of the mortgage holder.
The property is still subject to the mortgage. The grantee should make arrangements with the bank to assume the mortgage. Some mortgage documents contain language that a transfer of the property will trigger a demand that the mortgage be paid in full. You should speak to the bank ASAP. Or, the grantee could just keep paying the mortgage.
Is car insurance still valid on a persons car if the insured person has died
Look to the instrument that created the interests. If the instrument is silent on this point, in most cases, the decedent's wife is obligated since her name is on the mortgage. Option: If this is not desired, someone else (life estate tenant or remainderman) may refinance and pay off first mortgage.
You'd have to get that information from the mortgagee.
Because he is white.
