Your best bet will probably be to contact the insurance company by which the life insurance was underwritten by first. The bank will not know anything about the policy, and whoever took them over will not even be able to find records of something like that.

Where does the cash value come from in life insurance?

Initially, it is important to understand that cash value is a feature of whole life insurance only, not term life. The simple answer to the question is that cash value comes from premiums paid. The structure of a whole life policy is such that a portion of the premium is allocated to the actuarially determined cost of "protection", and the rest is allocated to an account that develops cash value. You can analogize cash value to a savings element within the policy, but it does differ in important ways from true savings and should not substitute for it. Whether whole life or term, life insurance should be purchased principally for the financial protection that it provides to survivors.


What is term insurance plans?

Term insurance is one of two main categories of life insurance; the other is whole life insurance (sometimes called "permanent insurance"). The fundamental characteristic of term insurance is that it is designed to last for a definite period of time (the "term"). It affords a death benefit only, meaning that it pays its face value upon the death of the insured if the death occurs during the term of the policy. That is, if the person insured dies only after the policy has expired, no payment is made. It is also distinguishable from whole life insurance in that it does not accumulate "cash value". Cash value is similar to a savings account built into a whole life policy such that a portion of the premium is applied to paying for the death benefit and another portion applied to the cash value accumulation. However, the cash value portion should never be considered to be a savings account in the usual sense of that term. Likewise, all kinds of life insurance should be considered to be protection rather than investments.

What if your fathers girlfriend leave the estate to the father but father dies before policy holder does the estate got to children of the father?

If the girlfriend is still alive then she can change her beneficiary. If she died and didn't change her beneficiary then you may have a claim if her estate went to your father. You should speak to an attorney. You refer to a "policy holder" in your question as well as an "estate". If the subject is a life insurance policy and your father was the beneficiary but was deceased when the insured died then be aware that the girlfriend probably named a contingent beneficiary on her policy.
