You can cash out a Northwestern Mutual life insurance policy only if it is a permanent life insurance product (such as whole life or universal life) that has accumulated a positive cash value over time. Term life policies build no cash value and cannot be cashed out. For permanent policies, cashing out requires surrendering the contract entirely or executing a partial withdrawal, though these actions will permanently reduce your remaining death benefit and may trigger surrender charges or tax liabilities.
