What would the value be on a whole life insurance policy from globe life be if the person paid on the policy for 18 years before her death face amount was 10 thousand dollars?
Face value and death benefit are essentially the same. Commonly, the death benefit will be the same as when it was issued, regardless of the impact of changes in the economy ( inflation ) or the number of years since it was issued. The face value may be increased if the policy earned dividends - this will be stated in the policy - and they chose to have them remain with the policy. If the dividends were paid out to the policyowner each year when earned, then the original face value remains as the death benefit. The amount paid out as the death benefit will be decreased by any loan taken, plus interest, and any outstanding premium due. Of course, if she stopped making premium payments, the policy may not have been inforce on the date she died. As many relatives find out when their loved one dies, simply having a copy of the policy doesn't guarantee that any benefit exists. Again, with all insurance policies, a rep from the insurance company issuing the policy would be the best person to speak to on the policy.
What is the value of a life insurance policy from Metropolitan life insurance taken out in 1924?
This answer will depend on the type of policy that was taken out and if the policy is still "in force". If the policy is a term policy (unlikely), whatever is the death benefit face amount of the policy. If the policy is whole life or universal life policy, the policy may have a cash surrender value and a death benefit value. Meaning that you may be able to simply cash out the policy and get a check prior to death. Or, upon death, the value would be the death benefit face amount plus any unpaid dividends and interest minus any loans that may have been taken out.

What is a DOT RIDER in life insurance?
The Dividend Option Term (DOT) rider provides term insurance that helps you get additional death benefit protection at an affordable cost. The DOT rider works in conjunction with the "paid-up additions" dividend option, which applies any dividends earned to automatically purchase more paid-up life insurance. Paid-up insurance means that, once purchased, you won't pay a premium for this additional coverage. As the amount of paid-up life insurance increases, the amount of term insurance provided by the rider decreases.
