You didn't say if the person who left the house was a parent or a friend. If it's parents you must provide a copy of the death certificate to the mortgage holder. Usually, the mortgage holder would have no problem with you continuing on with the payments. Depending on where you stand in the Will you may have to take a loan out to either pay the full mortgage the mortgage holder is holding, and then make your mortgage payments to your own banking institution. It's best to go straight to the mortgage holder and ask these questions so there are no mistakes made. Good luck Marcy

No. To cover mortgage debt an insurance company can write a life insurance policy on the mortgage holder/s. This policy usually is a term life insurance policy that in the event of death pays the balance due on the mortgage at the time of death. The term of the policy would be the length of the mortgage and the policy value decreases as the mortgage is being paid off by the policy holder, eventually expiring at the end of the term along with the mortgage. Since the benefit paid under this type of policy is constantly being reduced, and eventually becomes zero, the premiums are considerably lower than a whole life policy in which a fixed sum is payable on the death of the insured.
