Insurance while under contract

[Mike Dugan]

Has anyone ever gotten (can you legally get?) property insurance for a property that you have under contract?  I have a situation where I can get a house for a great deal, but it will be a somewhat long due diligence/closing period - 60 days or so.  My fear is that seller might let insurance lapse, something happens to house, etc.  

Any thoughts?

thanks

Mike
