The Owner acknowledges that by making this agreement irrevocable, it cannot be cancelled although it does not affect the right of the Owner to cancel the insurance policy within the examination period provided under the policy.

Lenders typically require life insurance as collateral for business loans because they guarantee repayment if the borrower dies. A policy with cash value can guarantee repayment if the borrower defaults.

If an absolute assignment was made, the company will pay the entire proceeds to the assignee. If a collateral assignment was made, the company will usually make the check payable jointly to the assignee and the beneficiary.

Any type of life insurance policy is acceptable for collateral assignment, provided the insurance company allows assignment for the policy. Some banks may require an escrow account for the life insurance premiums, others may require proof of premiums paid or prepaid.

The collateral assignment is irrevocable as established by a written agreement preventing the holder of the life insurance policy from affecting or using the cash surrender value after the irrevocable assignment.

Policies can be cashed out at any time – meaning it isn't only payable in the event of death. So, it's not only an insurance option to protect your loved ones, but it can be used for long-term savings or retirement. Any policy withdrawals, loans and loan interest will reduce policy values and benefits.

Collateral assignment of life insurance is a method of providing a lender with collateral when you apply for a loan. In this case, the collateral is your life insurance policy's face value, which could be used to pay back the amount you owe in case you die while in debt.

The owner can also transfer ownership of the policy to someone else by making an absolute assignment. Remember, however, that an absolute assignment is permanent.
