If you have no cash value on your policy, you will not be able to get a loan against the policy. If you are diagnosed with a terminal illness, all insurance companies have an accelerated death benefit usually included in most policies.
Some states also allow selling of your policy to a new policy owner to accelerate portion of your benefit amount.

You will only be able to borrow against the cash accumulation account. The amount in the account is usually the difference between the cost of insurance, plus expenses and the amount that you have been putting into the policy, plus any earned interest.

Can you bank on yourself with universal life insurance to build wealth for paying debts and retirement?
Some whole life insurance policies are structured such that you can borrow on the death benefit but you much pay it back over time with interest. The interest is yours to keep as part of the total death benefit of your life insurance plan. If you pay your premiums you will be able to borrow up to the death benefit. If you pay your premiums plus additional money, the money you "save" can be invested to grow tax-free. You can borrow this money too and must repay it to yourself with interest. The point is that when you pay premiums for a whole life policy, that money is ultimately going to be your estate's at some point when you die. You are just borrowing on it while alive. If you die prior to paying back the money you borrow, the death benefit of the policy pays off the balance of the loan.

How do you obtain money from life insurance policy?
There are 2 possible ways to obtain money from a life insurance policy: 1) If you own a cash value policy and you've built up a positive cash value, it's possible that your life insurance company will lend you money at a low interest rate using the cash value account as collateral. 2) If you are very sick and can't afford to pay your premiums any more, it's possible to sell your policy for cash, which is called a "life settlement" or borrow on it from a bank, but be prepared to show that you only have years to live.
