It points out the necessity for spouses to actually discuss financial matters with each other and have a clear understanding of what the plan is if one of them dies.

In this case, it looks as though the husband purchased a life insurance product and his wife didn't know about it (and thus didn't know to make a claim).

Another possibility, however, is that the predecessor mortgage company may have tacked on mortgage insurance without the customer understanding what he was paying for.
