The homeowners policy on dylan's $110,000 home is voided when he intentionally burns the house to the ground. consequently, he does not receive the settlement check he was hoping to when he committed the arson, but he still has an outstanding mortgage balance of $76,000. how does this event affect the mortgage lender?
the insurer pays the mortgage lender $110,000.
the insurer pays the mortgage lender $76,000.
the insurer pays the mortgage lender $55,000 - half the total amount of the loss.
because the arson voided the policy, the mortgage lender is paid nothing.

The insurer pays the mortgage lender $76,000.

Explanation:

As the total outstanding amount is only $76,000

Although that the value of home is $110,000. But only the outstanding balance which is yet not repaid on mortgage will be paid to mortgage lender.

This will be paid by the insurer as the house was insured, and even though if it is burned intentionally, the insurer can not run from his liability.

Accordingly the entire balance of mortgage lender, since amount outstanding is less than value of home will be paid by the insurer.
