Basis of Presentation | Note 1 – Basis of Presentation The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2019 December 31, 2019 three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 During March 2020, a global pandemic was declared by the World Health Organization related to the rapidly growing outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19). The pandemic has significantly impacted the economic conditions in the U.S. and globally, accelerating during the first half of March, as federal, state, and local governments react to the public health crisis, creating significant uncertainties in the U.S. economy. The Company has not experienced a slow-down in activities, however government restrictions and client-imposed delays are evaluated daily and this could change. While the disruption is currently expected to be temporary, there is uncertainty around the duration. The Company cannot at this time predict the ultimate impact the pandemic will have on its results of operations, financial position, liquidity, or capital resources but such impact could be material. This document at times will refer to the Registrant’s largest shareholder, Mr. Jesse T. Correll and certain companies controlled by Mr. Correll. Mr. Correll holds a majority ownership of First Southern Funding, LLC (“FSF”), a Kentucky corporation, and First Southern Bancorp, Inc. (“FSBI”), a financial services holding company. FSBI operates through its 100% September 30, 2020 64.95% UTG’s life insurance subsidiary, Universal Guaranty Life Insurance Company (“UG”), has several wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. The subsidiaries were formed to hold certain real estate investments. The real estate investments were placed into the limited liability companies and partnerships to provide additional protection to the policyholders and to UG. Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. |

The factors considered by Management in its regular review to identify and recognize other-than-temporary impairment losses on fixed maturities include, but are not limited to: the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than cost; the Company’s intent to sell, or be required to sell, the debt security before the anticipated recovery of its remaining amortized cost basis; the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer; adverse changes in ratings announced by one or more rating agencies; subordinated credit support, whether the issuer of a debt security has remained current on principal and interest payments; current expected cash flows; whether the decline in fair value appears to be issuer specific or, alternatively, a reflection of general market or industry conditions, including the effect of changes in market interest rates. If the Company intends to sell a debt security, or it is more likely than not that it would be required to sell a debt security before the recovery of its amortized cost basis, the entire difference between the security’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date would be recognized by a charge to other-than-temporary losses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Management regularly reviews its real estate portfolio in comparison to appraisal valuations and current market conditions for indications of other-than-temporary impairments. If a decline in value is judged by Management to be other-than-temporary, a loss is recognized by a charge to other-than-temporary impairment losses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company did not recognize any other-than-temporary impairments during the nine September 30, 2020 2019 Cost Method Investments The Company held equity investments with an aggregate cost of $ 14,417,247 10,919,247 September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 September 30, 2020 Trading Securities Securities designated as trading securities are reported at fair value, with gains or losses resulting from changes in fair value recognized in net investment income on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Trading securities include exchange-traded equities and exchange-traded options. Trading securities carried as liabilities are securities sold short. A gain, limited to the price at which the security was sold short, or a loss, potentially unlimited in size, will be recognized upon the termination of the short sale.

FSNB has been able to provide the Company with additional expertise and experience in underwriting commercial and residential mortgage loans, which provide more attractive yields than the traditional bond market. The Company is able to receive participations from FSNB for three primary reasons: 1) FSNB has already reached its maximum lending limit to a single borrower, but the borrower is still considered a suitable risk; 2) the interest rate on a particular loan may be fixed for a long period that is more suitable for UG given its asset-liability structure; and 3) FSNB’s loan growth might at times outpace its deposit growth, resulting in FSNB participating such excess loan growth rather than turning customers away. For originated loans, the Company’s Management is responsible for the final approval of such loans after evaluation. Before a new loan is issued, the applicant is subject to certain criteria set forth by Company Management to ensure quality control. These criteria include, but are not limited to, a credit report, personal financial information such as outstanding debt, sources of income, and personal equity. Once the loan is approved, the Company directly funds the loan to the borrower. The Company bears all risk of loss associated with the terms of the mortgage with the borrower.

Loans issued are generally limited to no more than 80% The Company has in place a monitoring system to provide Management with information regarding potential troubled loans. Letters are sent to each mortgagee when the loan becomes 30 days or more delinquent. Management is provided with a monthly listing of loans that are 60 days or more past due along with a brief description of what steps are being taken to resolve the delinquency. All loans 90 days or more past due are placed on a non-performing status and classified as delinquent loans. Quarterly, coinciding with external financial reporting, the Company reviews each delinquent loan and determines how each delinquent loan should be classified. Management believes the current internal controls surrounding the mortgage loan selection process provide a quality portfolio with minimal risk of foreclosure and/or negative financial impact. Changes in the current economy could have a negative impact on the loans, including the financial stability of the borrowers, the borrowers’ ability to pay or to refinance, the value of the property held as collateral and the ability to find purchasers at favorable prices. Interest accruals are analyzed based on the likelihood of repayment. In no event will interest continue to accrue when accrued interest along with the outstanding principal exceeds the net realizable value of the property. The Company does not utilize a specified number of days delinquent to cause an automatic non-accrual status. A mortgage loan reserve is established and adjusted based on Management's quarterly analysis of the portfolio and any deterioration in value of the underlying property which would reduce the net realizable value of the property below its current carrying value. The mortgage loan reserve was $ 0 September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 The following table summarizes the mortgage loan holdings of the Company for the periods ended: September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 In good standing $ 18,319,413 $ 8,223,286 Overdue interest over 90 days 2,072,640 0 Total mortgage loans $ 20,392,053 $ 8,223,286 Investment Real Estate Real estate held-for-investment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.

Once the note is approved, the Company directly funds the note to the borrower. Several of the notes have participation agreements in place, whereas the Company has reduced its investment in the note receivable by participating a portion of the note to a third party. Similar to the mortgage loans, FSNB services several of the notes receivable. The Company, and the participants in the notes, share in the risk of loss associated with the terms of the note with the borrower, based upon their ownership percentage in the note. The Company has in place a monitoring system to provide Management with information regarding potential troubled loans. Short-Term Investments Short-term investments have remaining maturities exceeding three months and under 12 months at the time of purchase and are stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The short-term investments consist of United States Treasury securities. Dung the nine months ended September 30, 2020 2019 7,890,228 0 |

Fair Value Measurements [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | Note 4 – Fair Value Measurements Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are measured and classified in accordance with a fair value hierarchy consisting of three levels based on the observability of valuation inputs: Level 1 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 – Valuation methodologies include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or the Company may use various valuation techniques or pricing models that use observable inputs to measure fair value. Level 3 – Valuation is based upon unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The following table presents information about assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicates the level of the fair value measurement based on the observability of the inputs used: September 30, 2020 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Net Asset Value Total Financial assets: Fixed maturities available for sale: U.S. Government and government agencies and authorities $ 46,208,490 $ 0 $ 0 $ 0 $ 46,208,490 U.S. special revenue and assessments 0 15,844,680 0 0 15,844,680 Corporate securities 0 114,667,777 0 0 114,667,777 Total fixed maturities 46,208,490 130,512,457 0 0 176,720,947 Equity securities: Common stocks 22,790,516 16,908,050 3,051,875 22,814,521 65,564,962 Preferred stocks 0 23,066 0 0 23,066 Total equity securities 22,790,516 16,931,116 3,051,875 22,814,521 65,588,028 Total financial assets $ 68,999,006 $ 147,443,573 $ 3,051,875 $ 22,814,521 $ 242,308,975 Liabilities Trading Securities $ (4,003) $ 0 $ 0 $ 0 $ (4,003) December 31, 2019 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Net Asset Value Total Financial assets: Fixed maturities available for sale: U.S. Government and government agencies and authorities $ 36,128,743 $ 0 $ 0 $ 0 $ 36,128,743 U.S. special revenue and assessments 0 15,203,363 0 0 15,203,363 Corporate securities 0 120,297,267 0 0 120,297,267 Total fixed maturities 36,128,743 135,500,630 0 0 171,629,373 Equity securities: Common stocks 29,888,281 14,258,750 10,274,810 24,239,952 78,661,793 Total equity securities 29,888,281 14,258,750 10,274,810 24,239,952 78,661,793 Total financial assets $ 66,017,024 $ 149,759,380 $ 10,274,810 $ 24,239,952 $ 250,291,166 The following is a description of the valuation techniques used the by Company to measure assets reported at fair value on a recurring basis. There have been no Available for Sale Securities Securities classified as available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Securities classified as Level 1 2 1 2 3 3 Equity Securities at Fair Value Equity securities consist of common stocks mainly in private equity investments, financial institutions and publicly traded corporations. Equity securities for which there is sufficient market data are categorized as Level 1 or 2 in the fair value hierarchy. For the equity securities in which quoted market prices are not available, the Company uses industry standard pricing methodologies, including discounted cash flow models that may incorporate various inputs such as payment expectations, risk of the investment, market data, and health of the underlying company. The inputs are based upon Management's assumptions and available market information. When evidence is believed to support a change to the carrying value from the transaction price, adjustments are made to reflect the expected cash flows, material events and market data. These investments are included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Equity Securities at Net Asset Value Certain equity securities carried at fair value, which do not have readily determinable fair values, use net asset value (“NAV”) and are excluded from the fair value hierarchy. These investments are generally not readily redeemable by the investee. See Note 7 – Commitments and Contingencies for additional information regarding unfunded commitments. Trading Securities Trading securities are recorded at fair value. They are classified as Level 1 Change in Level 3 Recurring Fair Value Measurements The following table presents the changes in Level 3 assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, and the realized and unrealized gains (losses) related to the Level 3 assets and liabilities. Fixed Maturities, Available for Sale Equity Securities at Fair Value Equity Securities at Net Asset Value Total Balance at December 31, 2019 $ 0 $ 10,274,810 $ 24,239,952 $ 34,514,762 Realized gains (losses) 0 6,284,302 0 6,284,302 Unrealized gains (losses) 0 (3,850,560) (2,809,324) (6,659,884) Purchases 0 1,797,500 1,415,757 3,213,257 Sales 0 (11,454,177) (31,864) (11,486,041) Balance at September 30, 2020 $ 0 $ 3,051,875 $ 22,814,521 $ 25,866,396 Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair values of positions classified in Level 3 in the tables above. As a result, the unrealized gains (losses) on instruments held at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable and unobservable inputs. Quantitative Information About Level 3 Fair Value Measurements The following table presents information about the significant unobservable inputs used for recurring fair value measurements for certain Level 3 instruments, and include only those instrument for which information about the inputs is reasonably available to the Company, such as data from independent third-party valuation service providers and from internal valuation models. Financial Assets Fair Value at September 30, 2020 Fair Value at December 31, 2019 Valuation Technique Common stocks $ 22,814,521 $ 24,239,952 Net Asset Value Common stocks 3,051,875 10,274,810 Pricing Model Total $ 25,866,396 $ 34,514,762 Uncertainty of Fair Value Measurements The significant unobservable inputs used in the determination of the fair value of assets classified as Level 3 have an inherent measurement uncertainty that if changed could result in higher or lower fair value measurements of these assets as of the reporting date. Equity Securities at Fair Value Fair market value for equity securities is derived based on unobservable inputs, such as projected normalized revenues and industry standard multiples of revenue for the equity securities valued using pricing model. Significant increases (decreases) in either of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.

Accordingly, such investments are only included in the fair value hierarchy disclosure when the investment is subject to re-measurement at fair value after initial recognition and the resulting re-measurement is reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company did not recognize any re-measurements or impairments of financial instruments at September 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019. Fair Value Information About Financial Instruments Not Measured at Fair Value Certain assets are not carried at fair value on a recurring basis. Accordingly, such investments are only included in the fair value hierarchy disclosure when the investment is subject to re-measurement at fair value after initial recognition and the resulting re-measurement is reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements. The following table presents the carrying amount and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments not measured at fair value and indicates the level in the fair value hierarchy of the estimated fair value measurement based on the observability of the inputs used: Carrying Estimated September 30, 2020 Amount Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Common stock, at cost $ 5,860,000 5,860,000 0 0 5,860,000 Preferred stock, at cost 8,557,247 8,557,247 0 0 8,557,247 Mortgage loans on real estate 20,392,053 20,614,085 0 0 20,614,085 Investment real estate 36,421,627 81,351,608 0 0 81,351,608 Notes receivable 19,298,398 22,380,946 0 0 22,380,946 Policy loans 8,727,991 8,727,991 0 0 8,727,991 Carrying Estimated December 31, 2019 Amount Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Common stock, at cost $ 7,875,145 7,875,145 0 0 7,875,145 Preferred stock, at cost 3,044,102 3,044,102 0 0 3,044,102 Mortgage loans on real estate 8,223,286 7,531,094 0 0 7,531,094 Investment real estate 44,344,236 88,483,424 0 0 88,483,424 Notes receivable 19,487,458 19,332,472 0 0 19,332,472 Policy loans 8,803,876 8,803,876 0 0 8,803,876 The above estimated fair value amounts have been determined based upon the following valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment was required to interpret market data in order to develop these estimates. Accordingly, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts which could be realized in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the fair value amounts. The fair values of mortgage loans on real estate are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses and interest rates being offered for similar loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings. The inputs used to measure the fair value of our mortgage loans on real estate are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. A portion of the mortgage loans balance consists of discounted mortgage loans. The Company has historically purchased non-performing discounted mortgage loans at a deep discount through an auction process led by the Federal Government. In general, the discounted loans are non-performing and there is a significant amount of uncertainty surrounding the timing and amount of cash flows to be received by the Company. Accordingly, the Company records its investment in the discounted loans at its original purchase price, which Management believes approximates fair value. The inputs used to measure the fair value of our discounted mortgage loans are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. Investment real estate is recorded at the lower of the net investment in the real estate or the fair value of the real estate less costs to sell. The determination of fair value assessments are performed on a periodic, non-recurring basis by external appraisal and assessment of property values by Management. The inputs used to measure the fair value of our investment real estate are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of notes receivable are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses and interest rates being offered for similar loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings. The inputs used to measure the fair value of the notes receivable are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy . Policy loans are carried at the aggregate unpaid principal balances in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets which approximate fair value, and earn interest at rates ranging from 4% 8% |

Shareholders' Equity | Note 6 – Shareholders’ Equity Stock Repurchase Program – The Board of Directors of UTG has authorized the repurchase in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions of UTG's common stock. At a meeting of the Board of Directors in September of 2020, the Board of Directors of UTG authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $1.5 million of UTG's common stock, for a total repurchase of up to $20 million of UTG's common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. Company Management has broad authority to operate the program, including the discretion of whether to purchase shares and the ability to suspend or terminate the program. Open market purchases are made based on the last available market price but may be limited. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company repurchased 107,822 shares through the stock repurchase program for $3,174,230. Through September 30, 2020, UTG has spent $17,947,326 in the acquisition of 1,277,180 shares under this program. During 2020, the Company issued 6,664 shares of stock to management and employees as compensation at a cost of $218,289. These awards are determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors. During the third quarter of 2020, the Company purchased 88,341 shares from Cumberland Lake Shell, Inc at a price of $29 per share for a total cost of $2,561,889.

Commitments and Contingencies [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Note 7 – Commitments and Contingencies The insurance industry has experienced a number of civil jury verdicts which have been returned against life and health insurers in the jurisdictions in which the Company does business involving the insurers' sales practices, alleged agent misconduct, failure to properly supervise agents, and other matters. Some of the lawsuits have resulted in the award of substantial judgments against the insurer, including material amounts of punitive damages. In some states, juries have substantial discretion in awarding punitive damages in these circumstances. In the normal course of business, the Company is involved from time to time in various legal actions and other state and federal proceedings. Management is of the opinion that the ultimate disposition of the matters will not have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position. Under the insurance guaranty fund laws in most states, insurance companies doing business in a participating state can be assessed up to prescribed limits for policyholder losses incurred by insolvent or failed insurance companies. Although the Company cannot predict the amount of any future assessments, most insurance guaranty fund laws currently provide that an assessment may be excused or deferred if it would threaten an insurer's financial strength. Mandatory assessments may be partially recovered through a reduction in future premium tax in some states. The Company does not believe such assessments will be materially different from amounts already provided for in the condensed consolidated financial statements, though the Company has no control over such assessments. The following table represents the total funding commitments and the unfunded commitment as of September 30, 2020 Total Funding Commitment Unfunded Commitment RLF III, LLC $ 4,000,000 $ 398,120 Sovereign’s Capital, LP Fund I 500,000 20,000 Sovereign's Capital, LP Fund II 1,000,000 158,596 Sovereign's Capital, LP Fund III 3,000,000 2,137,079 Macritchie Storage II, LP 7,000,750 1,840,485 Garden City Companies, LLC 2,000,000 1,956,688 Carrizo Springs Music, LLC 2,500,000 1,115,000 Modern Distributors, Inc. 7,200,000 3,700,000 During 2006, the Company committed to invest in RLF III, LLC (“RLF”), which makes land-based investments in undervalued assets.

Concentrations of Credit Risk [Abstract] | |
Concentrations of Credit Risk | Note 9 – Concentrations of Credit Risk The Company maintains cash balances in financial institutions that at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company maintains its primary operating cash accounts with First Southern National Bank, an affiliate of the largest shareholder of UTG, Mr. Jesse Correll, the Company’s CEO and Chairman. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. Because UTG serves primarily individuals located in four states, the ability of our customers to pay their insurance premiums is impacted by the economic conditions in these areas. As of September 30, 2020 and 2019 , approximately 55% and 56% , respectively, of the Company’s total direct premium was collected from Illinois, Ohio, Texas and West Virginia. Thus, results of operations are heavily dependent upon the strength of these economies. The Company reinsures that portion of insurance risk which is in excess of its retention limits. Retention limits range up to $ 125,000 per life. Life insurance ceded represented 20% of total life insurance in force at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 . Insurance ceded represented 37% of premium income nine September 30, 2020 2019 . The Company would be liable for the reinsured risks ceded to other companies to the extent that such reinsuring companies are unable to meet their obligations. The Company owns a variety of investments associated with the oil and gas industry. These investments represent approximately 17% 25% September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Land, mineral, and royalty interests $ 57,246,945 $ 80,182,100 Transportation 0 3,812,565 Exploration 1,258,750 2,824,810 Total $ 58,505,695 $ 86,819,475 The Company’s results of operations and financial condition have in the past been, and may in the future be, adversely affected by the degree of certain industry specific concentrations in the Company’s investment portfolio. The Company has significant exposure to investments associated with the oil and gas industry. Events or developments that have a negative effect on the oil and gas industry may adversely affect the valuation of our investments in this specific industry. The Company’s ability to sell its investments associated with the oil and gas industry may be limited. |
