If you have a standard term life policy and cancel it, the policy ends on the last day of coverage per the dates set by the last premium payment. This is the same with any life insurance; whether it is term or any variety of permanent insurance. The \u201cpenalty\u201d you\u2019d receive for canceling certain policies are called \u201csurrender costs\u201d and usually extend through the first 10 years of a policy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block\">For example, if you have paid into a indexed universal life policy for 7 years and decide to cancel it, it is unlikely that you will receive the full amount of CV within a policy because it would be reduced by the surrender costs. These usually diminish over the course of the first 10 years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What happens if you cancel a term insurance policy?
