Does a homeowners policy continue after the policy owners death?

Normally, the homeowners policy would continue for the paid up portion of the policy with the proceeds going to the estate, however, state laws and regulations differ. Since you may not be in this state, you should look on the policy and call the insurance agent. He will be gland to answer your question. That is his business and how he makes his living. He might want to continue the policy while the house is in probate or he might want to work out something different. The state law might have different requirements. He will know the law for that state.
