Values: What are they?
It is an amount of interest on the value of the policy that can be used as a guaranteed loan (with a minimum interest rate) or be rescued from the policy (either partially or totally). It is necessary to consider that the values of the policy is what guarantees that the policy will last, in other words it is necessary to replace the loans taken from the policy or the policy will last less years.
How do they work?
All companies have a minimum wait period before you can rescue the values or get a loan. Usually it is 10 years. Before that you are penalized. You must leave a minimum amount. If your values do not reach the minimum you will not be allowed to ask for a rescue.
Companies charge minimal penalizations (for administrative fees).
If the insured passes away with a loan on his policy the beneficiaries they will receive the value of the policy having discounted the amount of the loan and the interests.
