The policy may technically remain in force until the expiration date.

However, many homeowners insurance policies require that the house be continuously occupied in order that some coverages remain in force. Such policies generally specify the period which a house may be vacant, but yet considered to be continuously occupied. This takes into account, for example, extended vacations, or periods of vacancy while the owner seeks a new tenant.

Therefore, if a claim arises after the owner's death, and the house has been vacant for a prolonged period time, the insurer may have a basis for denying payment of the claim.

What it mean when a bank assign themselves on your home owners insurance?

It means you still owe them money. You still owe the bank for the house so you can not by law take them off the policy. It is not really your house until you pay them off. A bank or lender will assign themselves as a loss payee on a home insurance product whenever the homeowner/borrower fails to do so. The bank or lender does this to protect their loan in the event of a property loss.
