Impossible to say if mortgage life insurance will yield a higher payout upon one's death than a regular life insurance, it depends upon the face amount of each policy in-force at the time of death. If both death benefits are equal, then one is no better than the other.

Depends on what insurance is being carried. Most mortgage holders require individuals to purchase insurance to cover the balance if there is less than 15 or 20% equity being held.

Steps to take if i die before my spouse?

You need to look into what is called "Estate Planning". Basically, you need a last will and testament to say who gets what, life insurance to cover any debts, taxes or final expenses. You should talk to a financial consultant or insurance broker who is familiar with estate planning. If you still have a mortgage on your home, consider purchasing a mortgage protection insurance policy. Among other coverage benefits, these policies pay off your mortgage in the event of death. I recommend fully researching the benefit of purchasing a policy like this. If your life insurance policy includes enough money for your surviving spouse to make mortgage payments then this extra insurance may be unnecessary.

Look at the HUD-1 executed when you bought the house and look at your annual 1098 that the mortgage company gives you. One or the other will show the insurance premium. If there is no premium, your wife had no credit life insurance.
