Contact the company
When a policy has attained paid up value, it will definitely guarantee coverage as prescribed in the policy bond paper.
Check with your agent or insurance company.
Visit the insurer's website and ask for 'Status' of your policy,by quoting the policy number, wherein you will find either continuity or non-existence of the related policy bond.
Yes, check the policy or with your agent or company on how much. Do you have the illustrations that were done when policy was issued or annually?
I doubt that there's any cash value to the policy. Call the company and ask, or read the policy. The value is in the payments if G-d forbid you were to get cancer.
This answer depends upon the schedule of cash value in the policy itself. Suggest you locate the policy, read it and then talk to the company. At this point, it's even possible that the cash value equals the policy's death benefit. In other words, the cash value could be significant.
Phone the insurance company.
You call customer service of the insurance company and ask. But if the policy is cancelled, it is very likely there is no value to it.
Depending on the type of life insurance policy, if a premium is due there is a grace period while payment can still be made to keep the policy in force. Grace period is usually 30 days. If the policy has cash value, premiums can be paid out of the cash value. Once the cash value depletes the policy will lapse if no additional payments are made.
