    I would imagine you would. Who was the first named policy holder originally?
    Phone them up and ask them.
    God save the King!
    I'll save Winston Churchill, Jane Austen, J. M. W. Turner and Alan Turing.

    Hi

    I had something similar happen to me, but my policy still had some years to run. I will pm you more details.

    It depends what you mean by a "without profits" policy.

    It could be Term Assurance - in which case there is no benefit for you at the end of a policy.

    Or it could be a policy which does not have the "benefits" of with profits smoothing - e.g. a unit linked policy - in which case you would be entitled to a cash in benefit.
