Calculate the total cost of a fire insurance premium for a building and contents given the following. (UseTable 20.3.)
A whole life or permanent insurance builds cash or surrender value. When it lapses one can get the cash out, have extended term insurance or a smaller policy that won't ever lapse. So, it's term insurance that lasts for a certain period of time.
It is a type of whole life insurance that does not reduce the dividend payable under the policy even if there is a loan of cash value outstanding.
Of the various types of life insurance that exist, "term" life insurance is not permanent. This is because it remains in force only as long as premiums are paid. In contrast, "whole life insurance" is frequently also referred to as "permanent insurance" That is because it accumulates cash value, which is sort of a saving account built into the policy. Therefore, once cash value reached a certain amount, in theory, no further premiums have to be paid because the policy can be maintained based upon the cash value.
There are many insurance companies that offer Whole of Life policies. At the current time More Than do not offer whole of life insurance policies instead they offer term insurance.
whole life insurance
A life insurance policy has an owner, who is the person who is buying the insurance, as well as a designated beneficiary. Some kinds of life insurance, called whole life, have value as an investment and can be cashed out by the owner if he or she so desires (unlike term life which has only a death benefit and no cash value prior to the death of the insured). Now, you haven't said who this other person is who has received a payment from the insurance company. If it is someone other than either the policy owner or the beneficiary, the only other scenario I can imagine is that someone filed a lawsuit claiming that there was some kind of fraud going on, and that he (or she) is the actual owner or beneficiary of the policy, and not you. If the judge agrees, then the insurance company must comply.
== == * Whole Life Insurance policies lapse due to non-payment. Usually there is a provision that is called the Automatic Premium Loan that takes money out of the cash value to pay premiums if you stop. This is safety becasue most people do not conciously stop paying especialy when there is a cash value. Your policy lapsed which means you cash value is empty, sorry, no money for you. == == * Was it term or whole (permanent) life insurance? Do you have a copy of the policy? Was there cash value in it? Did you get statements showing the amount of cash value?
don't know what to do with it, you should phone the insurance company and ask if the policy is still in force and if so, if it has any cash value. You might either want to cash it out, or to keep it as life insurance. It's up to you. If it has lapsed and has no cash value, then it is irrelevant.
Technically, there is no insurance policy called as permanent life insurance. However, you can treat whole life insurance policy as permanent since the policy covered the whole life span of the policy holder and benefit is payable to nominee in the event of any eventuality of the policy holder.
It depends on what policy it is. If it was a whole life policy for which all premiums were paid promptly as agreed in the policy document, then Yes, you can cash it in after the death of the policy holder. For any other type of insurance policy, I would assume the policy has expired or lapsed by now since we are nearly 25 years ahead from 1987. So, in that case you cannot cash in the policy.
In Whole life policy, insurance claims are entertained in case of any eventuality of the policy holder during the tenure of the policy period only, like term assurance policy.

The difference between term life insurance and whole life insurance is that a term policy covers the insured for a "term of years" whereas a whole insurance policy covers the insured for the entire life period.
A term policy that can be converted to a whole life (or other) policy.
Once the term policy expires there is no further benefit owed to the owner/beneficiary of the policy. You have converted the whole/entire life policy into a term/temporary policy. The cash value was used to pay the premiums for the term policy. Therefore, there is no longer a cash value on your insurance policy. Once the temporary policy expires, a new policy or extension must have been in place before the insured's death to receive any benefit. This is one of the non-forfeiture options standard to insurance policies.
