The surrender (voluntary termination) of a life insurance policy involves the payment by the insurer, prior to the death of the insured, of the accumulated cash value of a whole life policy. The cash value is the "savings element" of a whole life policy. Upon surrender, the insurer pays the accumulated cash value less any surrender charges specified in the policy.
Reinstatement of the same policy is generally not available after surrender. Instead, the insured must reapply for coverage and meet then-prevailing underwriting standards for his/her current age and health status.

The cash surrender value changes (usually increases) as the policy matures. The amount of the cash surrender value is shown on a schedule on the declarations page of the policy. The declarations page is one of the first pages of the policy which identifies the insured, the policy number, the amount of policy benefits and other information.

The value accrued at the time of surrender of the policy is called cash surrender value of the policy. Generally, before completion of three year period, no life policy can be surredered and hence question of cash surrender values does not arise.
