Generally, the Will will state whether or not a mortgage is to be paid off prior to distribution to a beneficiary. If it is silent, it is usually not paid and the beneficiary takes the property with the mortgage intact. The personal representative should keep the house insured against all calamaties as part of his or her fiduciary responsibility until it is transferred to the ultimate beneficiary.
