PMI plays an important role because it protects a lender against loss if a borrower defaults on a loan. In case of a deed in lieu, the deficient amount is forgiven by the lender. As far as I know, in case of a foreclosure, if there is a deficient amount, then the lender will try to recover it from the PMI. If the deficient amount exceeds the PMI, then the lender may ask you to pay it. Wish you a Merry Christmas. Thanks
