    The proceeds of an endowment policy are paid to the policyholder unless the policy has been assigned as security for the loan. Do you have the original policy document?

    If you do, that's a good sign it isn't assigned.

    If it was assigned previously, you may have the policy document back with a notice of reassignment included with it.
