1035 ‘GOOD ORDER’ CHECKLIST<br />
YOU CAN KEEP YOUR 1035 EXCHANGES IN GOOD ORDER BY FOLLOWING <strong>THE</strong>SE HELPFUL TIPS:<br />
• The 1035 form is two-sided. Both sides need to be signed and completed by the policy owner. If the policy owner is an entity,<br />
include the authorized title of the person signing on behalf of the entity.<br />
• For policies owned by a trust, the signature requirements are the same. However, the signature must include the “Trustee”<br />
designation (i.e if the appointed trustee is John Smith, the 1035 paperwork should be signed “John Smith Trustee”).<br />
Be sure to provide a copy of the Trust Certification form with your New Business Application.<br />
If you are not submitting the 1035 Exchange as part of the New Business Application, we recommend providing a copy of the<br />
Trust Certification form (or the signature pages of the Trust Agreement) with the original 1035 paperwork.<br />
• Always provide the Social Security Number or Taxpayer Identification Number of the owner.<br />
• Policies that are assigned (e.g., bank or company) require two bank or company officer signatures with titles in the designated<br />
signature area. An assignment to an individual or multiple individuals requires the signatures of the assignees.<br />
• Include the full name of the other insurance company as well as the policy number. To ensure fastest processing, a copy of the<br />
premium statement or the policy is required.<br />
If a copy of the policy is not available, have the client sign a statement that the policy is lost and submit it with the 1035 paperwork.<br />
• Verify that the owner of the new contract is the same as the owner of the other insurance policy on 1035’s (i.e. if a name change<br />
has occurred, please provide a copy of the supporting documentation such as a marriage certificate or divorce decree).<br />
• The agent is required to sign as the witness to the policy owner’s signature.<br />
• Check the appropriate loan option that is applicable to the surrendered policy. If there is an existing loan with a taxable gain that<br />
will not be carried over to the new policy, a separate client statement will be required to proceed.<br />
• Identify any 1035 Exchange information to expedite processing.<br />
