How To Find Out The Value Of A Life Insurance Policy? 
In order to find out the value of a permanent life insurance policy , you can order a current illustration from the life insurance company that issued the policy , or have your agent order it for you . If your agent is no longer around , you can give permission to another agent to order it and explain it to you . This illustration will give you up to date information about the cash value in your policy , your loans and charges , etc. . If you want to see how your policy would perform if you increase or decreased the premium , decreased the face amount , or used cash value to pay premiums , you can order an illustration like that , as well .
