Can you get insurance to pay your mortgage while the house is being rebuild if there is a fire?
No, Your homeowners insurance is a type of "Hazard Insurance", you must continue to make your mortgage payments as usual. If your policy contains "Loss of use" coverage, then your insurance will cover the cost of temporary housing within policy limits, allowing you to continue making your mortgage payments.
Will mortgage insurance automatically be canceled if the property goes through foreclosure Can the insurance company make you continue to pay or come after you for money after foreclosure?
I believe this question deals with Mortgage Insurance, not homeowners insurance. After foreclosure the lender will file a claim with the mortgage insurer. The claim is paid and since the mortgage is no longer in force the policy is void and no further claims can be made. Since the policy is no longer in force there are no premiums to be paid. The insurance company will not come after you unless they discover that you obtained the mortgage (thus the insurance also) by fraudulent means. If that is the case they will come after you. Also, any losses that the lender incurred beyond what the insurance paid are still collectible. It will be reported to the credit agencies and they will continue to try to collect from you. Homeowners insurance is one of the peripheral issues that families facing foreclosure must deal with. While it is possible that the county can take the home through a different type of foreclosure for unpaid property taxes, and the mortgage company will be pursuing a lawsuit for the defaulted mortgage contract, there is little the homeowners insurance company will do upon nonpayment. However, this does not mean that property owners have nothing to worry about. There are two most likely scenarios when homeowners begin missing their mortgage payments, and what happens with the insurance will relate to how the premiums are paid. The issue may be handled differently depending on if the owners pay the insurance on their own or if it is paid monthly through the escrow on the mortgage. Most homeowners, though, escrow their property taxes and insurance through their monthly mortgage payment. Typically, when payments are missed on an insurance policy, the coverage will continue for a period of months. If something happens to the house, the owners will be covered by their policy, although the amount they have fallen behind will be deducted from total awarded to them for the accident. However, if numerous payments are missed for longer than just a few months, the policy will lapse and the owners will no longer have any coverage. What may happen at this point is the mortgage company will buy its own homeowners insurance for the house, and they will add the monthly premiums to the amount owed on the loan. If the homeowners want to get back on track with the mortgage, they will have to pay back this extra amount for the forced insurance. Lenders will also not shop around for the best rates, so the monthly cost for the policy may be quite a bit more expensive than the owners were used to. Of course, this should not be an issue at all if the homeowners pay the insurance through their monthly payment to the lender. The bank will keep paying the taxes and insurance to make sure the policy does not lapse, while adding the amount of these missed payments to the total needed to reinstate the loan. Any insurance payments the lender makes will be included in the payoff and foreclosure judgment.

What happens to the mortgage if a house does not sell and you lose home owners insurance?
You still owe the mortgage. And you must continue to maintain the homeowners insurance. If not, the lender who holds the mortgage has the right to place "forced coverage" on the property at great expense to you. When they add "forced coverage" they simply increase your mortgage payment to adjust for the difference. And of course you must make each payment in full in order to remain current on the loan and avoid damaged credit or foreclosure.

Your security deed or debt deed requires you have fire & hazard insurance.
