What Happens When You Surrender a Life Insurance Policy?
Has your life situation changed since you originally purchased your life insurance policy? It’s common for policyholders to find that they no longer need or want their life insurance as their life circumstances evolve — and that’s perfectly normal. Perhaps the reasons for acquiring the policy are no longer relevant. Maybe your children are now financially independent, or the spouse who relied on your income has passed away. Or perhaps you’re facing financial challenges that make premium payments difficult. Regardless of the reasons, there are options available to discontinue your policy while still benefiting from the investment you’ve made over the years. Often, this involves surrendering the policy.
