What is special about a universal insurance?
Universal life insurance is special in that it allows the policy owner to alter the time period and amount of premium payments as well as the death benefit and you can do this while the policy is in effect. However the altered payments must be with limitations of the company you are getting the insurance through.
Can you get a loan on life insurance?
EssentialLife® Universal Life Insurance: Permanent form of Life coverage that offers a great deal of flexibility to the policy owner. Premium payments may be varied, death benefits may be changed, partial surrenders are allowed, and cash value may be accessed either through loans or direct withdrawals. Premium payments are deposited into an accumulation account where mortality charges and administrative charges are deducted monthly. Any remaining amount to the accumulation account is credited with interest. The policy's flexibility allows the policy owner to make, within IRS limits, contributions in excess of regular premium payments, which may substantially increase the policy's cash value; cease making premium payments for a period of time; change the death benefit options; and request partial surrenders. Money deposited to the accumulation account is subject to a surrender charge, if withdrawn, during the surrender charge period.
Can you cash in my policy if my benificary died before me?
The owner of the policy can change beneficiaries at any time. The owner can also determine whether to continue making premium payments, take a policy loan, or take back the cash value of the policy. If the primary beneificiary died there may no longer be a need to keep the policy. You can change beneficiaries, or cash out the policy.
Does only the beneficiary have access to ones death life insurance policy?
NO. The beneficiary is only entitled to the death benefit proceeds when the insured dies. The owner of the life insurance policy controls the policy, the beneficiaries, any cash values, and is responsible for premium payments. The owner has the ultimate control of the life insurance policy and can change the beneficiary of the policy at any time...and does not need the beneficiary's permission to do this.

How do you find out if a life insurance policy is in your name?
Please clarify your question. When you ask if the policy is in your name, are you trying to determine whether you're the insured, owner or beneficiary of the contract? Do you know who's paying the premium on the policy? It's highly likely that the premium payer is the owner of the policy and can get the information that you're seeking from the insurance carrier. Contact MIB, they may have info on polices "you" have applied for.

Can anyone but the insured of a life insurance policy change the beneficary on a life insurance policy?
Yes, the policy owner can change the beneficiary. Sometimes, the person insured and the policy owner are not the same person, if someone else pays the premium for the insurance policy. For example, a parent or guardian taking an insurance policy on spouse or children. Some insurance policies are assigned to cover bank loans, and even if the insured may pay the premium, the bank can be assigned as the owner of the policy; in that case the bank decides who the beneficiary is going to be (usually in this scenario, the bank will also be the beneficiary).
Can anyone else but the insured change the beneficiary on a life insurance policy?
Only the POLICY OWNER can change the beneficiary on a life insurance policy. In most cases, the insured is also the policy owner, but it's not a general rule. The policy owner can be another person who is paying the premium (for example, a parent or guardian, spouse or other family member), or a bank, or a business. If the policy owner is not the same person as the insured, then the insured has no control over who the beneficiary is on the policy.
How do you get refund from a lapsed policy?
Usually an insurance policy lapses when there is not enough premium paid or not enough cash value to keep the policy in force. So, if the policy lapsed, there is no refund owed to the policy owner if the policy had no "Return of Premium" or any cash value left. The premiums already paid into the policy were used to cover for the amount of time since policy issue until the moment it lapsed.
Surrender of Paid-Up Additions?
Dividends from life policies can be used to buy additional face value. After these additions have occurred a policyholder can then surrender these additions in lieu of premium payments, which may pay premiums in full or part, thus reducing the cost to maintain the policy for the owner.

When you refinance a mortgage can you get a refund on title insurance paid on the existing loan either lender's or owner's policies?
In many states, there is a discounted refinance rates for the premium. Ask the title insurance agent who is doing the new Mortgage Policy if you qualify for a discount. There are no discounts that I know of, on an Owner's Policy, since when a new Owner's Policy issued, it means the property and chain of title, has transferred hands.
