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.

What happen your mortgage if you lost your incame?

If you have mortgage insurance that covers the reason of your income loss (disability, involuntary unemployment) then the insurance company will pay the premiums according to your policy's benefits schedule. If you don't have mortgage insurance, you can use savings, retirement funds, borrow money, or you can try to negociate your mortgage terms with your lender. Unfortunately, many mortgage clients believe they don't need mortgage insurance and they find themselves forced to file for bankruptcy and lose their home if something happens. The PMI (private mortgage insurance) will protect your mortgage payments and help you keep your home!
