More information is needed to properly respond to this question, however they certainly should let you know whether or not you need to have your own separate insurance as a condition of their utilizing your services. Good luck.
The ins.co has said payments had lapsed but was reinstated and paid up at time of death. But also are claiming that they were given false information about the facts of deceased health. The policy was over 7yrs old and the person who was handling finance issues was not beneficiary.

There is nothing illegal about the remaindermen being insured for property loss. But you will have to carefully find a willing insurance company that will inure a dwelling in which there is an occupany that is not the insured. When you get the policy, read it.
