does PMI pay mortgage in case of the death of the insured?

Well PMI or the private mortgage insurance protects the interests of the lender and not that of the mortgage owner. Hence, the lender is required to claim against the insurer to get the remaining of the mortgage amount.

However, I doubt that the PMI Company would pay over the death of the mortgagee, since PMI would normally pay-off when the borrower defaults. I guess in this case the estate would be responsible for the remaining of the loan.

Well, I see no reason why you shouldn't ask. Since, you are the executor of the property you are in the capacity to inquire with the PMI company. IMO its worth trying.

I _think_ PMI would pay the loan but then it's a question as to if the PMI carrier would pursue the estate as Karen mentioned. Remember, PMI does not protect the owner of the home... it protects the mortgagee and therefore allows the home owner to obtain the loan.

Hi
The PMI might not but yaa if the mortgage co takes care of insurance.. then there is a possibility they might pay it as well...
they normally use this insurance during workouts on payment options.. however its the last option used by the mortgage co to help a borrower keep his house.. but most of the co's dnt infrom their borrower.

My ex and I purchased a house 12 yrs ago. I moved out 2 yrs after we bought the house. I left him the house and I took the kids. About 3 months ago my ex has been missing and we believe his room mates killed him and buried him some where. The lender hasn't received a payment going on now for three months. Should the insurance on the loan pay the balance on the house. I need help can some one give me good advice please!!!!

if a person has PMI insurance, is upside down on the house and then dies and leaves the house to 1) his wife who was not his wife when he bought the house and is therefore not on the deed or 2) his 30 year old daughter--who is also not on the deed., what happens to the mortgage on the house???

Neither the wife or his daughter have a financial interest in the house. But neither one can afford to take on any debt from the house. The will has not yet been finalized

I was informed that if my house value increased 20% then the PMI amount could be removed from my debt. With the real estate market in terrible shape, can I qualify if I have upgraded the residence opposed to just waiting on the market to increase?

So if PMI pays out on default of the loan, and the mortgage holder dies - wouldn't the mortgage payments also stop, hence triggering the banks ability to claim on the PMI?
