The surrender value of any life insurance policy which, upon the death of the insured, would 
be payable to the spouse, children, or any relative of the insured dependent, or likely to be 
dependent, upon the insured for support, is exempt absolutely from the claims of creditors of the 
insured to the extent provided in section 28 -22-03.1. No creditor of the insured, and no court or 
officer of a court acting for any such creditors, may elect for the insured to have the life 
insurance policy surrendered or in anywise converted into money, and no life insurance policy or 
property right in the policy belonging to the holder, except for the value thereof in excess of the 
amount provided by section 28 -22-03.1, may be subject to seizure under any process of any 
court under any circumstance.
