What happens when you cash in a life insurance policy and how can you tell how much you would get for it?

Look in the policy for the table of cash values. There may be TWO columns. Cash and Surrender value. If you give up the policy, you get the surrender amount. If you don't have that table in your policy or your policy is based on current interest rates - then you need to contact your Insurance Company or agent and ask for an illustration showing the cash values.
If the amount of cash is more than you paid - you pay tax on the difference. You might want to consider taking loans if you need the $$$. You might also want to consider just not paying the premium and letting the cash values pay for the coverage.

If I surrender a universal life insurance policy what happens?
If you surrender it you are in effect canceling the policy. They will issue you a check for the cash value in the insurance and you will no longer have the protection. Alternatives? Maybe take a loan on the cash value which you would have to pay back. If you are over 52 you should look into selling the policy as you will get more than the cash value. I can help you with that. In any case I caution you on losing a policy like this, consider carefully. 4LifeGuild

What happens if your policy expires before you die?
If your policy is a term insurance plan, nothing happens. The coverage ends when you stop paying and there's no further benefits. It's similar to auto insurance. If your policy is a permanent plan with cash value, there may be income tax ramifications. If your cash in the plan grew, you may receive a form 1099 from the insurance company indicating a taxable gain. This growth in your cash value may not have been reportable income if the policy hadn't lapsed. If your policy expires before you do, there is no death benefit payable to the beneficiaries of the lapsed contract.
