  • Publication number: 20120209631
    Abstract: A computer system for processing of data related to a permanent life insurance policy includes a data storage device storing data indicative of a policy owner, an insured under the policy, and a death benefit amount, payable under the policy to a beneficiary upon death of the insured, and a processor in communication with the data storage device. A withdrawal benefit providing periodic payments to the owner, each payment reducing the amount of the death benefit until reaching a residual death benefit amount, is available on owner request, at a minimum age of the insured, on meeting a condition related to a likelihood of policy lapse prior to death of the insured. The processor is configured to determine whether premium payments in accordance with a schedule will cause the condition to be met.
