Keep whole life insurance policies or surrender them?
Hey everyone,
My mother(F56) has two whole life insurance polices that she bought in 2011 and 2017. She also took out two policies for me(M26) in 2011 and 2017 as well. I've been trying to convince her to drop her 2011 policy and my 2017 policy and take the cash value and invest it in something else.
Is is it more prudent to drop her 2011 policy and my 2017 policy and invest the cash value in something or keeping the polices?
Should we drop all four? She is unlikely to do this but I just want to know for myself if this makes sense financially.
