Unclaimed realty will escheat to the state. If you were still making payments it would go to the government or their organizational representative.
The government is ultimate guarantor to the banks so in event of bank default it would assume assets and liabilities.
And for reasons too detailed to go into on the forum, (although much different reasons than AE listed) the U.S. economy IS on the verge (20-30 years max) of collapse. And no I am not an alarmist, but I am a pragmatist.
