Many Universal Life Policies will permit a partial surrender of cash value.

Universal life insurance is a flexible permanent life insurance product with a cash value component. Apartial surrenderallows the policyowner to withdraw a portion of the cash value, reducing both the cash value and, typically, the death benefit. Unlike a policy loan, a partial surrender does not need to be repaid, as it is a withdrawal of the policyowner’s own funds.

Option A: Incorrect. Partial surrenders are not loans and do not require repayment.

Option B: Incorrect. A partial surrender reduces the death benefit, not increases the face amount.

Option C: Incorrect. A partial surrender decreases the cash value, not increases it.

Option D: Correct. The surrender amount does not need to be repaid, as it is a withdrawal.
