All you have to do is write to your insurance company and let them know you wish to surrender the policy. They will send you a check for whatever the cash value is. If you are over 50 you will get more money then your cash value with a life settlement option. I can help you look into options with that. 4LifeGuild

What is a Equitable life account adjustable life plan?
ELA's, as they are called, are typically outdated policies. Many times they used to be whole life policies, and when I client missed a premium, the Equitable turned the contract into an ELA, which is an extended term policy. The policy will last as long as there is enough cash to pay the life insurance amount. They are generally not designed to be perminant or whole life policies and have an expiration date.
