Does auto insurance pay lien on totaled auto?

If an insured car is totalled the insurance company will issue a check made out to the lien holder and the owner jointly, both the lien holder and the owner have to endorse the check to cash it. If the value of the car is more than the lien, the lien gets paid off and the owner gets the remainder. If the value is less than the lien, and therefore, the insurer pays less than the outstanding balance on the loan, the lienholder will be entitled to it. Additionally, the owner will be liable for the balance owing after insurance proceeds are credited.
