If it is an old cash value policy there may be if the premiums were all up to date. Depending on the face value of the policy and the individuals age and health it may be worth more to sell it than to cash it in.

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.

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.

If you have found an old whole life insurance policy and you?

don't know what to do with it, you should phone the insurance company and ask if the policy is still in force and if so, if it has any cash value. You might either want to cash it out, or to keep it as life insurance. It's up to you. If it has lapsed and has no cash value, then it is irrelevant.

How can I cash in a 53 year old insurance policy from Life and Casualty Insurance Co.?

It depends on what policy it is. If it was a whole life policy for which all premiums were paid promptly as agreed in the policy document, then Yes, you can cash it in after the death of the policy holder. For any other type of insurance policy, I would assume the policy has expired or lapsed by now since we are nearly 25 years ahead from 1987. So, in that case you cannot cash in the policy.


Can you cash in your policy?

Yes, if you have a policy with cash value. Term policies have no cash value. Permanent policies designed to develop cash value probably have no value if they are newer than 3 years old. Contact the insurance company for a surrender value. Also ask what other options you have (loans, stop premiums, etc).

The owner of the policy is the only person who can surrender a life insurance policy. Most of the time the insured is the owner but not always. You might want to speak with a tax professional before cashing in the policy as income taxes will be due on benefits but if the policy pays out at death it is tax free. Unless the policy is very very old the death benefit may be much higher than it says on the policy if there is that much cash in it. Check with the company before making decisions.
