The policy is no longer in effect. Any cash values have been used. You should be able to reinstate the policy within a period of 6 months by paying all premiums due from the lapse date to the current time. Additionally, you will have to provide a statement of current health conditions on an insurance company form. If the the policy is still in the "grace period," (it has been less than 30 or 60 days since the last premium due date) you should not have to provide a statement of current health conditions - just pay the back premiums.
