Do you get your premiums back when your term insurance policy expires?

The only way you can get your premiums back when a term life policy expires, is if you purchased what is known as a "return of premium rider". This would have been done initially when you bought the policy.
What this does, is generally doubles the premium (on average), versus what you would have paid without this option. The good thing about doing this, is that it would ensure you would receive 100% of paid premiums back at the end of the term (assuming you were still alive).
Some people don't like this because it costs more. However, other people see it as getting your money back after initially paying double, versus paying half the premium, and never getting any of it back (unless you die within the term defined in the policy).
Feel free to contact me for more info.

If your life insurance policy has a cash value, you will receive that amount back minus any surrender fees. Term insurance does not normally have cash value, so you won't get anything back at cancellation.

If you had life Insurance on a loan and it was paid off is the life insurance still in effect?
May need more info. But, if the owner took a loan from a cash value policy, then paid the loan back without the policy lapsing, then policy would still be in affect provided that any premiums due were paid and the policy has not lapsed. I would be happy to help you figure this out if you don't have a current agent. Brian Lombardo, CPA, Agent

Can you get money back from a lapsed life insurance policy?
== == * 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.

Did you get statements showing the amount of cash value?

Every driver your son puts on his policy will increase his premiums. It might reduce his premiums, if he claims that you're the primary driver and he's an incidential driver but that's insurance fraud and could come back to bite him.
What if i receive life insurance policy but not satisfied?
There may be a Free Look period in your life insurance policy The Free Look period acts like a money-back guarantee in that it allows you to return the life insurance policy to the insurance company within a set period of time from the day you receive the life insurance policy, in order to get a full refund of the premiums paid. Otherwise, if the free look period was say 30 days and you have had the policy for 45 days, you could request a cancellation of the policy and get a pro-rata return of premiums, subject to the terms and conditions of your life insurance policy. Make sure you read your life insurance policy and review the requirements and instructions on how to cancel the policy, or use the Free Look period.

What are examples of cash value insurance?
Cash value insurance can be "whole life insurance" or "universal life insurance". There are few differences on how the funds are invested and if dividends can be paid that would increase the cash value, but both types of permanent life insurance can accumulate cash value. There is also a type of term insurance that has a "return of premium" feature that will return all premiums back at the end of the term. This type of term life policy is not actually accumulating cash value because you only get back the premiums you paid.
