I am more than happy to help you with this. If you want, look for an annual statement (you should get them every year on the policy anniversary) and we can talk about it. I'm not a licensed agent so I can't advise you but I can tell you what to look for and what to ask about. I definitly would not cancel the policy yet....I would ask some questions first. Also, if you terminate the policy and there was a loan there is the possibility that there will be a taxable event in the year you terminate.
You said the policy does earn dividends. Do you know how they are being used? usually the options are: Cash (you get a check every year) Reduce the premium, reduce the loan, purchase additional insurance, or accumulate and earn interest (interest is taxable) If you want to call me to go over this I'm happy to help. My ph# is 267-261-3405. I'm available from 4:45 to about 8:00. I go to bed early:)
