What is the difference between face value and cash surrender value of life insurance?
Face value typically refers to the death benefit of the policy (i.e. how much your family would receive if you were to die). Cash surrender value is the amount of money that has accumulated (tax deferred) inside the policy and is the amount of money the owner would receive (before taxes) if s/he were to cancel the policy. Cash surrender value is different from plain old "cash value" or "accumulated value" in that most insurance policies have surrender charges for 10 to 20 years that reduce the total "cash value" or "accumulated value" down to the cash SURRENDER value.
Can you surrender a life insurance policy?
yes, we can surrender a life insurance policy. If we surrender the policy means we can surrender by its cashvalue. If we surrender for the entire cashvalue then it is called full surrender. If we surrender for a part of its cash value then it is called partial surrender. Any way the cash value gets reduced. It effects the face amount. so the face amount also gets reduced. Hence no of units gets reduced.
How do you determine the value of an old burial insurance policy from Southern Bankers Insurance Company?
You could submit a claim but that usually means dying first. Short of dying, you could surrender the policy for its surrender value. The surrender value depends on many things but it starts a zero when the policy is bought and grows to the face amount as the policy ages. The hardcopy of the policy should show a face amount but will likely also include a schedule for the surrender value. If the hardcopy of the policy can't be located, a call to the company is in order.

What is the value of a life insurance policy from Metropolitan life insurance taken out in 1924?
This answer will depend on the type of policy that was taken out and if the policy is still "in force". If the policy is a term policy (unlikely), whatever is the death benefit face amount of the policy. If the policy is whole life or universal life policy, the policy may have a cash surrender value and a death benefit value. Meaning that you may be able to simply cash out the policy and get a check prior to death. Or, upon death, the value would be the death benefit face amount plus any unpaid dividends and interest minus any loans that may have been taken out.

== == == == The life insurance policy will state the face value ( death benefit ) of the policy. However, it may not state the amount that each beneficiary will receive as the number of beneficiaries may have changed since it was issued. Until a claim is paid, the beneficiaries will not know how much they'll receive.
Can you take out a loan on a life insurance policy?
That depends on the life insurance policy. The policy must be one that builds cash value before a loan can be taken. Simply, if the policy is a 'term life policy' it lasts for a defined period - 10 years, 20 years, etc. - and charges a low premium. It doesn't build cash value you can borrow against. 'Whole life policies', on the other hand, have a part of the premium paid set aside for cash value. For this reason, the amount of premium charged for a whole life policy will be higher than the premium charged for a term life policy with the same face value. NOTE: A loan is taken against the cash value of a policy, not the face value ( death benefit ). So if the face value is $10,000 and the cash value is $3,000, the loan would be taken against the $3,000.
If you borrow on the loan value of a whole life policy but never pay it back does the face value of the policy decrease?

Is it better to surrender a life insurance policy or take out a loan and then cancel it to get the cash out?
Both options will effectively end the coverage and may incur possible tax issues. The amount you receive in a surrender that is more than the amount you had paid to that point in premium is considered taxable. It would be best to contact the insurance company and discuss what you wish to do and why. Also, depending on your age, health and the face amount of the policy it may be in your best interest to sell it rather than cash it in. The value in selling it if you are eligible is generally greater than the cash value alone. Of course this would incur greater tax penalties. In any event when thinking of eliminating any life po0licy, think carefully!
