A:
So you are right to be concerned.
If the agreement between you and the mortgage company requires them to pay for home insurance, then they are obligated to do so. If that is true your best move is to send the mortgage company a certified letter demanding that they provide coverage. If they don't, you can force them to. Unfortunately, that might have to be by filing a lawsuit to make them do so. The court would likely make them pay for your lawyer, but that is not a guarantee.
I hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Attorney John Cucci, Jr., Esq.
