Yes, Raphael, you can definitely benefit from the cash value option of your whole life insurance policy. But let me clarify one thing first. Cash value is different from face value. If you die, your beneficiary will receive money from your insurance company, that amount is called the face value. However, with the cash value option, you can access money even while you are still living.
I bet you’re wondering why should you get money from your insurance policy while you are still alive?
Cash value is the amount that will be given to you if you decided to cancel your policy. You can use it as a loan that can be used in a lot of ways, like for payments in case of emergencies. Or you can simply take your savings and enjoy life before you die. If you cancel your policy, you can get the amount of the cash value but with certain deductions. If you recently got a loan from your insurance policy, then the unpaid amount of the loan will be deducted from the cash value as well as any interest that have not been paid.
Now that we are experiencing financial and economic crisis all over the country, I believe that it’s better you contact your agent in Texas, so they can explain to you further the benefits of cash value. I think that with cash value, you will have a more flexible option should your family encounter some financial setbacks. Good luck!
