The home I inherited has a debt on it and the house is insured by the estate. Once the estate closes, is it too late to get homeowners insurance or do I need to do that now? I can work on financing for the house but what does that mean for the current insurance? Would I need insurance in my name ?

Either hire an attorney or do the research and represent yourself, quickly. Once the house is demolished there will be a lien filed for the cost. And that lien might be executed against the land.
