Best Answer

The owner generally has the right to transfer ownership of the policy, borrow against accumulated cash value, change beneficiaries, cancel the policy, convert the policy to another one that the company offers at the time of the desired conversion, change the amount of insurance, and exercise options to increase the amount of insurance.

There may be other rights that inure to the owner, and they will be enumerated in the policy. There may also be limitations on the rights of the owner, such as, pertaining to the right to change beneficiaries.

What rights do you have over a life insurance policy taken out by your parents while you were an adult?

If your parents took out a life insurance policy and paid for it, the policy belongs to them and even if you are the person whose life is insured, that does not give you rights over that policy. I am not entirely sure why your parents would feel the need to have life insurance for their adult progeny, but possibly they are concerned that if you were to suffer a tragic premature death, they would be stuck with funeral expenses that they could not afford to pay unless they had an insurance policy to help them.


What does absoloute assignment mean in life insurance?

There are 2 types of assignments in life insurance. Absolute Assignment - This means that you give up all of your rights to a life insurance policy forever. An absolute assignment may be used if you are selling your life insurance policy, or during a divorce where you give up all rights to your policy. Collateral Assignment - A collateral assignment is when you give up your rights to a policy until you have satisfied your collateral requirements. A loan is a classic example where a bank may require that you get a life insurance policy with a collateral assignment. If you still owe the bank money when you die, the bank would be repaid its money and any leftover would be paid to your beneficiaries.
