Male 55 have a life insurance policy, i don'y need it any more what is the best think to do with the policy?

Depends on what kind it is. If it's Term chances are it's going to get extremely expensive in the nest few years. Look at possibly converting it to a whole life of some sort.

If it's whole life, look at the cash values? Does it still pay Dividends? I've seen a lot of policies that have enough in Dividends or cash values to fund the premiums fro decades depending on how old the policy is.

If it's a U/L policy, could you possibly use it for tax sheltering? You say you don't need it...does that mean you have enough assets to cover final expenses? Why not protect those assets form creditors or the government and make sure your family actually gets them?

Contact your advisor or an independent 3rd party advisor and let them have a look at it. They'll be able to explain what options might best suit you.

Keep it. What makes you think you don't need it anymore? You're going to die at some point and someone is going to need the money to bury you. Who knows? You may fall in love ten year from now and want to leave someone to your significant other when you pass, and getting insurance at that age will be very expensive.

It pays for your burial and final bills so they don't dump it on somebody else. If you are still paying on it then convert it to a paid up policy which will then cost you nothing. You can also see if they will pay you the interest.

I guess it is a whole life or universal life insurance policy. Or what kind is it?

If it is a whole life then you should consider your options if you have had it a long long time. If not, then cash it in and put the money in some investments or IRA or ?. See a financial person for that.

However, if you have had the policy a long, long time, you may have a taxable gain and you may have dividends that have the policy pay for itself. So, check with your insurance agent and ask them those questions about your policy. Or, give some more details here.

Bottom line, how long have you had the policy? Short time, cash it in. Long time, consider some options or see a financial planner.

First things first. Life insurance is not for you, it is for those that you leave behind.

Now, assuming no one is dependent on your income, and you have sufficient savings to cover final expenses, there is no reason to keep it except to make sure the money will be there.

This is call the theory of decreasing responsibility. As you get older and build your nest egg, your need for insurance goes down.

All that being said, it would probably be a better idea to reduce the coverage than to cancel it so you can ensure that someone can pay the final expenses.

I'll present you some options:

1) If it is a term policy you can either reduce the coverage or just quit paying the premiums and lapse the policy.

2) If it has cash value then you can always cancel the policy for the cash value built inside.

3) Depending on your health and policy you could see about contacting a life insurance settlement broker about selling your policy. The broker could go out and see if there is any market for your policy. You might get more than your cash value. There are a lot of issues with these so be sure and do your homework. I'll attach a blog article I recently wrote on the subject of selling your life insurance.
