An elderly relative of mine has received notification from Irish Life that she has paid more into maintaining a Fixed Benefit Whole of Life Policy than the policy will eventually be worth.
It's not a huge amount but the surrender offer comes to only about half the policy's value. When I asked if he could stop paying into it and just let it sit there, they said they would eat into the value with fees and maintenance. I asked could we just put in a tiny amount each month to keep it running but that didn't seem an option either. Any advice appreciated.
