Presuming that you mean that you wish to cash in the policy prior to death, there are a few options, including.
1. If whole life insurance is involved, you may be able to borrow some or all of the accumulated cash value. The policy will provide for an interest rate that will be charged for the period that the loan is outstanding. The insured can, and probably should repay the loan, but it does not have to. If the loan is not repaid, the interest will accumulate on the amount borrowed, and over a long enough period of time, will deplete the death benefit payable.
2. There exist life settlement companies which buy in-force life insurance policies. Funds are paid based upon several factors, including the age of the insured, the insured's expected life expectancy, the insured's health, and the amount of insurance. Naturally, the amount paid for the policy is less than its face value. It is important to check the background of and history of complaints against the life settlement company, and to get several quotes from several companies. It is also important to check with the insurance regulatory authority of the state to determine if the company is authorized to conduct business in the state.
3. Most whole life insurance policies specify a "surrender value", which varies depending upon how long the policy has been in force and premiums paid. This involves essentially turning the policy back to the insurer in return for payment of the surrender value.

If you would like to know how much cash value is in your policy you can call your ins. company or check the "schedule page" of your policy where there is usually a breakdown of how cash value will accumulate over time (depending on the type of policy).

Term life does not build cash value within the policy. It is not an investment, but pure protection.
