Best Answer

If your policy has a cash value associated with it you can get money for surrendering the policy. Term Life has no cash value, but a whole life or universal life policy may have a cash value in it. That depends on what type of policy it is, how long it has been in force, and assuming the payments have been made.

Cash Value of whole life insurance?

Cash value of whole life insurance is referred to as the "Cash Surrender Value". The cash surrender value is money the policyholder is supposed to receive from the insurance company when surrendering the whole life insurance policy with cash value. The cash surrender value amount due is the sum of the cash value stated in the whole life insurance policy minus any surrender charge and any outstanding loans and interest due on the loans.

Can you collect cash from a life insurance policy after three years?

Clearly, if the insurance policy is in force after three years, and the insured dies from a cause that is not excluded, the beneficiaries may collect, even after only 3 years. However, if what you are asking is whether the owner of the policy can collect some or all of the cash value from a whole life policy after three years, the analysis is different. Even assuming that the policy has stayed continuously in force during that period, you must understand that during the early years of a whole life policy, cash value accumulates slowly. Therefore, as a practical matter, there will probably not be much to collect/borrow.

Is life insurance preminums more than cash value insurance?

Google the types of life insurance first. You need to learn a little about life insurance. The terms you are using and spelling are weird. Most people use cash value insurance to describe a type of life insurance.I do not really understand what you mean but, from my experience, I can only guess that by life insurance you mean term life insurance. If that is the case, then, in most situations, term life insurance has lower premiums than cash value life insurance (whole life, universal life...). Be well! mcdlife.com
