If you take a loan against the policy, the amount you receive is not considered taxable.

However, if you later surrender (cash-in) the policy, the amount you received in the loan and in the surrender will then be considered taxable income.

Can you collect cash from your life insurance?

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.


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 cash value in an insurance policy mean?

The cash value is the amount of money your insurance policy is worth to the owner of the policy if the insurance is cancelled and the policy terminated. The insurance company will mail a check to the to the policy owner upon policy termination or cancellation by request of the owner. I would strongly encourage you to consult a professional in your area before cancelling an existing policy. There may be other options and alternatives to access the value of the policy without cancelling the insurance policy.


Pros and cons of selling life insurance policy?

The pro is that you will get money for a term policy which has no cash value, or any value for that matter unless you die, or if a whole life policy, you will get more money that if you surrendered it. The down side is if you need a death benefit, you will no longer have it. I can help you evaluate your options and seek out offers. 4LifeGuild
