      It depends on your state's laws.

        Your state laws define the exemptions that a debtor may use in a bankruptcy.

        Generally, the cash value of a whole life policy is considered exempt. What is determined by state law is whether your last year's contributions are exempt or not. Some states will require you to pay out of the cash value any amount you paid in during the last 12 months. Other states may have a wild-card exemption which would permit you to exempt those payments regardless of their nature. Bankruptcy is a complex area; you should contact a bankruptcy attorney in your area to discuss this further.
