Should You Surrender That Life Insurance Policy For Cash? - Episode 93
Before you (or someone else) surrender that permanent life insurance policy for its cash value, listen to this conversation. In today's episode, Chris and Danny walk through the real alternatives people rarely talk about: keeping the death benefit while using the cash value as a flexible asset, reduced paid up (RPU) options, switching an IUL/VUL from a growing death benefit to a level death benefit, decreasing the death benefit, selling the policy via a life settlement, donating a policy to charity, using the cash value as an emergency fund or bond alternative, and more. Chris and Danny also cover the key facts you must gather (e.g., health information, financial goals, detailed policy information, etc.) so you don't make a rushed decision based on Reddit hot takes or loud YouTube opinions. Tune in if you want the right questions to ask, the tradeoffs to weigh, and several options you probably haven't considered.
