Pure term life insurance. In this kind of policy, there is no cash value of the policy for the insured. The policy holder gets no tangible or monetary benefits as long as he/she is alive.

The Inurance policy owner will benafit from the policy it will not go to anyone else.
Term Insurance
Of the various types of life insurance that exist, "term" life insurance is not permanent. This is because it remains in force only as long as premiums are paid. In contrast, "whole life insurance" is frequently also referred to as "permanent insurance" That is because it accumulates cash value, which is sort of a saving account built into the policy. Therefore, once cash value reached a certain amount, in theory, no further premiums have to be paid because the policy can be maintained based upon the cash value.

Yes, the types of permanent insurance policies - whole life and universal life - are designed to build cash value. There are permanent life insurance policies that offer guarantees over cash value accumulation, therefore staying in force until age 105, 115, 121, etc - and build very little cash value. The cost for this type of permanent insurance is often much lower than those that will build significant cash value.
The cash surrender value is the sum of money an insurance company will pay to the policyholder or annuity holder in the event his or her policy is voluntarily terminated. This is only before its maturity, or if the insured event occurs.
The Inurance policy owner will benafit from the policy it will not go to anyone else.
How much is the surrender value compared to the premiums paid in? Generally speaking, there is no tax on the cash surrender value of a life ins. policy. This is because the (guaranteed) cash surrender value (GSV) represents the "legal reserve" required by law. So, for instance, if a person is insured for $100k, and the policy has a GSV of $10k, when the insured person dies (assuming no policy loans, etc.) the death benefit of $ 100k is paid to the named beneficiary: $ 90k of the insurance company's $'s, and $ 10k of the insured's $'s. Had the insured taked a policy loan of $10k, then the death benefit would be only the $ 90k. Hope this helps.
