What happens if you lose home insurance and you are paying a mortgage?

If you do not get another policy the mortgage company will procure its own policy which will only cover your home. The policy covers the bank's interest, not yours. For example, if your home burns down, the "forced placed policy" will not cover any damage to your contents.


How long can an insurance policy stay active without payment?

As long as we pay our dues on time the policy remains in force. The moment we stop paying our premiums the policy lapses and the insurance cover provided by the policy becomes nullified. A lapse occurs when premiums are not paid even during the grace period. The life cover continues during the grace period whose duration varies based on the type of policy and premium payment frequency


How do you get refund from a lapsed policy?

Usually an insurance policy lapses when there is not enough premium paid or not enough cash value to keep the policy in force. So, if the policy lapsed, there is no refund owed to the policy owner if the policy had no "Return of Premium" or any cash value left. The premiums already paid into the policy were used to cover for the amount of time since policy issue until the moment it lapsed.


What does home owners insurance protect the home from?

It is based on the covered perils of your individual policy. The number and type of covered perils varies greatly from policy to policy, company to company, and endorsement to endorsement. It is pretty standard that most policies at the very least cover Fire, Theft, Wind, and Hail. Some policies cover much much more, such as Water, Collapse, Riot. If you have a policy, look at the covered perils section. If you don't have a copy of your policy call your agent and request one.
