Choose one of the options provided, such as the maximum amount available without a surrender charge, a specified dollar amount, or a specified percentage of the accumulation value. Ensure you understand the implications of withdrawals, especially any potential surrender charges.
5. If you need to declare a lost policy, check the appropriate box and confirm that you release the company from any liability associated with the original policy.
