My homeowners insurance refused to pay off my house after my husband passed away because they said it was in a grace period. It didn't get paid for that month but when he passed it was still in a grace period. Called around 7 or 8 times and they kept refusing to honor it.

Consult an experienced civil... View More

That's clearly a sticky issue. Probably best to contact someone in management, advising them of your problems.
