What does liquidity refer to in a life insurance policy?

Life insurance seems like a great idea for the future, but there is this whole thing about liquidity that I don’t quite understand. With my regular savings, I know I can access the money whenever I need it. Does a life insurance policy work the same way, or is it more locked down? Basically, if I got a life insurance policy, could I ever get some money out of it before something happens to me?

Liquidity is crucial as it provides adaptability, enabling policyholders of specific policy types to access cash during their lifetime and ensuring beneficiaries promptly receive funds following the insured individual’s death.

When it comes to life insurance, liquidity means how easy it is to get cash from your policy. Life insurance policies are meant to give your family financial security after you die, but some may let you access cash while you’re still alive. These policies are called “more liquid.”
