Can you receive a loan from a whole life policy?
Loan Value is the amount of cash value that can be borrowed on a policy. A policyowner may be able to make a loan against the cash value of the policy, based on the type of policy owned. A loan allows access to the cash value of the policy, while still maintaining the insurance coverage. When a loan is made against a policy, the death benefit is reduced by the amount of the loan plus any interest that is owed. Loan interest rates vary and specific provisions are generally explained in the policy itself. Generally, a policyowner can request a loan by calling a Service Center. However, in certain instances, a loan form or written request signed by the policyowner will be required. Please remember a policy loan accrues interest and will reduce the death benefit. A loan form or written request signed by the policyowner must be sent to a Service Center if: * The policyowner requests that the loan check be sent to a temporary address. * There is a change of address pending when the loan is requested. * The policy is company owned. Signatures of two officers and their titles will be required for corporations and the sole proprietor's signature will be required for sole proprietorships. * The proceeds of the loan are being transferred to a bank. * The policy has multiple owners. * The policy is owned by a trust. * The policy is assigned.

Can a life insurance company deny term life death benefit if premium was in default and benficiary was not notified?
To begin with, there is no obligation for an insurance company to notify a beneficiary of the status of the policy or any changes to it. A policy is a contract between the insurance company and the policyowner only. If the insured has died after the policy terminated due to nonpayment of premium, should an insurance company choose to do so, they may make some minor payment to the beneficiary, perhaps part of the premium paid. However, they are under no legal obligation to do so and most companies will not pay a death benefit on a terminated policy.
