In general, payment of the proceeds of a life insurance policy occurs upon the death of the insured. However, there exist companies that will advance a portion of the face value of the policy in return for becoming the owner of the police. These companies are generally called "life settlement companies". The amount paid is less than the face value; the difference, paid upon the insured's death, is profit.
It is imperative that you conduct a through investigation of the company that you are considering, including checking with the insurance department in your state. In some places, these companies have to be licensed by the state, and you should never deal with one that is unlicensed when licensure is required. You shouls also contact a number of companies, because the offers that you get may vary among them.
Finally, think long and hard about doing this at all. Life insurance is meant for the financial protection of survivors. There are less drastic means to get money if you are in dire financial straits.
