If you don't have a statement, contact the company's costumer service for an in force ledger. Depending upon the type of cash value life insurance you have and how old it is, it may contain higher credited interest rates. That could be a reason to keep it. And depending upon how old you are, you may receive more money from the life settlement than the cash surrender value.Answered on September 13, 2013flag this answer.JPG)

If it was a term policy and no one is paying any premiums on it, the policy will have lapsed and not have any value. If it is a permanent policy, you can call the insurance company to determine if the policy is in effect and ask what you would get if you cashed the policy in.Answered on December 4, 2014flag this answer
