Best Answer

Yes, if your life insurance policy has accumulated cash value. Not all life insurance policies will accumulate cash value: for example, term life insurance policies will not accumulate any cash value. Whole Life and Universal life policies can accumulate cash value and the policy owner can take loans in the limit of the cash value (some companies limit loans to 70 - 80% of the cash value).

Can you borrow money from a universal life insurance policy?

Most Life insurane companines allow you to borrow money from your Universal Life Policy. There will be an interest rate charged, the interest rate will be reflected in your policy under "Loans". You will only be able to borrow against the cash accumulation account. The amount in the account is usually the difference between the cost of insurance, plus expenses and the amount that you have been putting into the policy, plus any earned interest. The more money you pay into the policy above the cost of insurance and expenses, the more you should have in your cash accumulation account. Remember, you determine the amount of the premiums paid into the policy, the amount has to at least meet the minimum premium set by the life ins. company, and cannot exceed the top limit placed by IRS to maintain a life policy's tax benefits.
