Friendly Loans Against Your Life Insurance Policy
Summary
Next »1/5
You may be able to find a friendly source to lend you money by using a life insurance policy as collateral for the loan -- much as you would use a house as collateral for a mortgage.
A loan is income tax free to you, the borrower.
If you decide to approach a friend or family member, do so on a business-like basis.
The key word is "like" because while the transaction should be done in a professional manner, your friend is entering into the transaction as a favor to you more than for potential profit.

Keep in mind that after you receive the proceeds, it becomes your obligation to keep the policy in force as long as the loan is outstanding.
This process can be pretty depressing. If it is, and discomfort about initiating the topic keeps you from moving forward, speak with your support system -- including a support group and professional help. For tips about dealing with depression, click here.
