Record 6 2009-03-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Life Insurance
CONT

If you surrender a policy with cash value, you get back the premiums you paid plus the earnings (if any), minus the cost of the insurance protection and any surrender charges (usually in the first 10-20 years). In addition, you must pay ordinary income tax on any cash value gains you receive; a tax that you had previously avoided because of the tax deferral afforded to the build-up of cash in permanent insurance policies.

OBS

The operation by which a policyholder relinquishes his or her cash value life insurance policy is called a "surrender".

French

Domaine(s)
  • Assurance sur la vie
CONT

OBS

L'opération par laquelle un assuré met fin à sa police d'assurance-vie avec valeur de rachat en vue d'obtenir une somme (la valeur de rachat) se nomme le «rachat».

DEF

surrender: the voluntary relinquishment of a right, or of a power or office, by one person (the surrenderor) to another (the surrenderee), either by written instrument or by delivery of the thing which is the object of the right.

OBS

surrender: A fundamental category of juridical acts in the common law.

OBS

Surrender is a generic term for all acts of the kind, [mentioned in the definition] but the following specific terms, including surrender itself, are normally used depending on what is surrender: surrender for an estate, lease, patent, insurance policy or physical object; disclaimer, renunciation, for an estate, succession, inheritance or office, especially if not yet vested or if unwanted or burdensome; resignation, reliquishment, for an office; waiver release, for a right of action; waiver renunciation, for a right to attend a meeting, right to receive notice, right to generally to the benefit of an obligation; release for a debt, usually on its satisfaction, e.g. for a mortgage; remission for an unsatisfied debt; discontinuance for the reliquishment and consequent termination of a judicial action by written notice given by a plaintiff, or for the termination of an abandoned action by court order. All the above should be clearly distinguished from abandonment, which is a unilateral and unwritten act of relinquishment, e.g. of a child, a ship, land, a building, goods, or of a judicial action where no notice of relinquishment is given by the plaintiff (in which connection abandonment does not terminate the action if the possibility subsists of it being revived); and from forfeiture, which is involuntary.
