Are homeowners insurance quotes needed before purchasing a home?

Does home owners insurance cover the mortgage if you die?
No. Homeowners insurance provides property and liability loss insurance. It is not life or disability insurance. You can purchase a term life insurance policy that decreases in coverage along with the mortgage balance on your home. You can even purchase a joint policy that would pay the house off when the first person (like and husband and wife) dies then the policy would cease. This type of policy is cheaper than purchasing two seperate life insurance policies and still does what you want it to do, that is not leave the surviving spouse with a large mortgage balance on the home if one of you dies before the other.

Mortgage life insurance is a specialized insurance policy that is designed to pay off a mortgage loan should the borrower die before it is paid in full.

However, they have no cash value and only insure the balance on the loan.
