Do you have to pay back loans with life insureance?
Not necessarily. The insurance company will deduct the loan from any benefits at death. However, please be careful to watch the cash value and insurance costs on your policy. If you have outstanding loans that are racking up interest you may find that there is not enough money in the policy to pay for the insurance benefit and the policy may lapse.
Can you suspend life insurance?
Most policies have a built in Lapse clause. For example, in CA, if you lapse a policy (ie don't pay it for 31 days past the due date), the policy is in "lapse" status. If lapsed, then the company won't pay a death benefit if the insured dies. However, in CA, a lapsed policy can be reinstated for up to 5 years provided that the insured party has not died and is still insurable (per the company's determination). To reinstate, you would need to pay all premiums that were missed plus interest. For whole life and universal life policies, because they have a cash value, often a policy premium can be skipped temporarily or for a period of time without lapsing. Most companies will do this automatically if you are late on a premium. Feel free to ask more. Brian Lombardo, CPA, Agent

Does term life insurance pay out at the end?
Term life insurance is life insurance protection for a specific number of years. For example, if you buy 10 year level term life insurance and you die within 3 years of buying the policy, your beneficiary would receive the life insurance proceeds, usually free of federal income tax. However, if you stopped paying on your life insurance policy (policy lapse) and your coverage was not "In Force" when you died, there would be no pay-out. Also, if you cancel your term life insurance policy, there would be no pay out. The reasons term life insurance do not pay out at the end include the following: 1. The insured cancelled the policy. 2. The insured stopped paying the insurance premiums. 3. The insured outlived the term of the term life insurance policy, so the coverage expired. 4. The insured did not renewe coverage when the policy expired. 5. The insured did not tell their beneficiaries that they owned life insurance, and so no claim was ever made to get the proceeds from the life insurance policy. I hope that helps! Best of luck to you. 6. A term policy only pays off if the insured dies within the term.
