Well, honey, a 20-pay whole life policy would endow when the cash value equals the face amount of the policy. In simpler terms, it means the policy has enough cash value to pay out the death benefit without any more premiums due. So, sit tight and watch that policy grow until it's ready to cash out!

When an insurance policy's guaranteed cash value equals the initial death benefit, it is said to "endow" or mature. Whole Life contracts typically endow at the insured's age 100. The most recent mortality tables for life insurance (2001 CSO - Commissioners Standard Ordinary) would endow at the insured's age 121. However the Society of Actuaries 2001 CSO Maturity Age Task Force recommended that insurance policies issued under the new mortality table assume all contracts will pay out in some form by age 100. Some policies have earlier endowment periods. These typically pay the face amount upon death or attaining a certain age or number of years, whichever is first. Life insurance is intended to help make a loss bearable. It is a mechanism for managing risk and should not generally be considered an investment.

If the policy was a term life insurance policy and presuming that you paid all premiums and the policy did not lapse for non-payment, it would be considered to be "fully paid-up". Therefore, upon the insured's death, the insurance company would be obliged to pay the face value of the policy. If the policy was a "whole life insurance policy", cash value would probably have accumulated so it may have more value ($2500 plus the accumulated cash value). A definitive answer cannot be given without reviewing the policy.
