1035 Life Insurance Exchange Guidelines and Exchange Procedures

 
A Section 1035 exchange permits a policy-owner to transfer the cash value from one life insurance or annuity contract to another without income tax consequences, provided proper procedures are followed and the policy-owner does not receive any property in the exchange.

Even if there is no gain in the policy to be exchanged, a 1035 exchange permits the adjusted cost basis of the old policy to be carried over to the new policy. To qualify, however, the insured and owner must be the same on both policies and the exchange must involve:

• A life insurance contract for another life insurance contract or an annuity contract.
The exchange of two single life policies for a policy insuring two lives (survivorship policy) does not qualify as a non-taxable exchange. The IRS has permitted an exchange of a survivorship policy where the first insured has died for a single life policy insuring the life of the surviving insured.

• An endowment contract for an annuity contract.

• An annuity for an annuity. An exchange of an annuity for a life insurance policy is not a 1035 exchange and may result in income tax consequences.
Note: These rules do not apply to any exchange having the effect of transferring property to any non-United States person.

Product: In order to accommodate the transfer of values, the life insurance product must be able to accept unscheduled deposits.

The product for an exchange of a policy "with no outstanding loan" should be either a Universal Life or Whole Life with Paid Up Additions Rider plan of insurance.
Underwriting: Full evidence of insurability based on age and amount applies.
Replacement Compliance: Full compliance with appropriate state replacement regulations applies.

Procedure: In order to process an exchange, the field representative should obtain:

1. The completed state-specific application with wording in the "Special Instructions" section to indicate "This is a 1035 exchange." Suggested wording to avoid amendment:

• 1035 Exchange proceeds only; or

• 1035 Exchange proceeds plus planned premium; or

• 1035 Exchange proceeds plus planned premium plus lump sum deposit of $_____________; or

• 1035 Exchange proceeds plus lump sum deposit of $_________________

2. Evidence of insurability based on the insured’s age and amount applied for.

3. The applicable 1035 Exchange Form should be signed (original signature (s) only) by the owner (s), collateral assignee, etc. This agreement contains a number of conditions and should be read carefully by the owner (s) before signing.

If the owner is a corporation or other business entity, provide the full name of the entity followed by the signature and title of the authorized party. If the owner is a trust, provide the full name of trust and trust date, followed by the signature (s) of the trustee (s). Insert the title "Trustee (s)" following the signature (s).

4. A copy of the trust agreement where applicable.

5. The old policy or policies should be returned with the applicable Exchange Form.

6. All state-specific replacement paperwork.

7. Conditional Insurance Receipt or Temporary Insurance Receipt (issue state specific) if money is taken with the application.

Upon receipt of the above requirements, the following will generally occurs:

1. If the Company approves the new policy for insurance in a standard or better rating class, or in a rated class that had previously been requested and accepted in writing, the Company will request surrender of the old policy.

2. If the new policy is approved with a rated premium, the Company will await the confirmation of acceptance by the owner prior to beginning the surrender process.

3. The Company will issue the new policy for delivery upon receipt of the 1035 proceeds.

4. If surrender cannot be effected, the old policy will be reassigned to the policy-owner and the Company’s obligations under the exchange agreement will terminate.

5. If the policy-owner declines acceptance, or returns the new policy under the "Free Look" provision, the Company will, in its discretion, either cooperate with the policy-owner in attempting to reinstate the policy (ies) with the prior insurer or deliver all payments made with respect to the new policy to the policy-owner.

Other Issues:

• Insured/Annuitant and owner must be the same on both policies/contracts (before and after exchange.)

• If the policy is owned by a trust, original signatures of ALL trustees as owner are required, together with their title (s).

• Complete name and date of trust must be included.

• Submit a copy of the trust showing section listing trustees.

• If owned by a business entity, include title of party signing on behalf of the business entity and complete company name.

• All external exchanges average 30 days of processing time from receipt of paperwork in good order at the exchanging company.

Some companies require company specific forms

The listing provided is not comprehensive and is subject to change. We recommend that you contact the existing insurer to obtain exchange requirements prior to submitting documents.

Special Notes

1. Approximate processing time for exchanges is 30 days from receipt of paperwork in good order at the company that issued the contract to be exchanged. Clearly, conservation will be attempted, and you should be prepared for a significant delay before the surrender proceeds are received and applied to the new policy.

2. An exchange of a life policy issued prior to June 21, 1988, that would be a modified endowment contract if issued after the effective date of IRC Section 7702A (i.e., fails the 7-pay test), will lose its grandfathered status. It is unlikely that such an exchange will be in the client’s best interest.

3. The new insurer will not pay premiums if any become due on the old policy (s). If the client wishes assurance that there is no break in coverage before issue of the new policy, the client should be instructed to pay the premiums on the in-force policy, although it might be prudent to pay the minimum modal permitted.

4. Some insurance carriers will not transfer the outstanding loan balance on life insurance products. Such carriers will surrender the loan first, with the balance of the funds transferred to the new policy. This treatment may create an adverse tax consequence.

5. While 1035 exchanges allow for tax-free treatment, some situations can result in immediate taxation. For example, the receipt of any cash or "boot" not poured into the new contract will result in income tax to the extent of any gain in the contract.
A Word of Caution

We encouraged the parties involved to seek the independent advice of a competent tax advisor before proceeding with any 1035 life insurance exchange.
