When did your parents give you a life insurance policy?

It combines a basic life insurance component with a cash (or dividend, or investment) component.

Can a parent have you drawn and quartered on a life insurance policy?

No! First of all, you parents could very well have you drawn and quartered if you cancel the policy before it reaches “maturity” – which in their eyes means a hefty cash value, probably projected to happen when you reach retirement. If you need cash now, there are a few ways to accomplish this while still keeping the policy alive.

What happens if you inherit a life insurance policy?

Inheriting life insurance can bring tax and other consequences, however, and it occasionally happens that the company refuses to pay out at all. You can collect policy death benefits by sending the original death certificate and the original life insurance policy to the insurer if you’re named as the beneficiary.
