According to the person I spoke with at the Texas Department of Insurance (as this answer may vary with each state), the answer is no. The money belongs to the homeowner. The mortgage company must release the funds when the homeowner satisfies the requirements of the mortgage company, usually this is signed documents, contractor's invoice, and an inspection. Theoretically the mortgage company should then release the funds to the contractor and the homeowner. (Theoretically b/c our mortgage company comes up with something new they need every 2 weeks. We've been fighting for our money for 10 weeks now. So good luck!)
Yes, I have completed an insurance check with my mortgage company.
To successfully persuade a mortgage company to sign an insurance check, you should provide them with all necessary documentation, such as the insurance claim details and proof of repairs being completed. Communicate clearly and professionally with the mortgage company, emphasizing the importance of the insurance funds in restoring the property. Be persistent and follow up regularly to ensure the process moves forward smoothly.
The real beneficiary from a mortgage insurance claim is ultimately the insurance company that provided you with the mortgage insurance in the first place.
No, your mortgage typically does not cover your insurance payments. Insurance payments are separate from your mortgage and are usually paid directly by you to the insurance company.
This depends on what you mean by mortgage insurance. If you are talking about products like PMI (Premium Mortgage Insurance) look on your escrow billing and it will be listed. If you are talking about a life insurance policy that would be either through credit life with your mortgage company or separately through an insurance company.

No. It would have to be sent back to the insurance company if they paid too much.

The insurance company reserves that right.

If you have a mortgage, the money goes to the bank and they release it when the house has been rebuilt and inspected. If you own the place free and clear, then it is your choice.

The mortgage company didn't pay the insurance because the homeowner is typically responsible for maintaining their own insurance coverage on the property.
No, I have not received the home insurance claim check from the mortgage company yet.
To ensure your mortgage company is included on your insurance check, you should contact them and provide them with the necessary information for the insurance company to list them as a payee on the check. This ensures that the mortgage company can endorse the check and release the funds for repairs or rebuilding.
Insurance companies do not pay your mortgage for you regardless of if your on vacation or not.
