ASSET TRANSFER TIPS
For all annuity carriers
Transferring assets, or exchanging money via section 1035 of the tax code, may have tax consequences. Any questions regarding taxation should be referred to a qualified tax professional.
Call the Financial Institution/Insurance Company to see what they require to transfer the money e. g. some financial institutions, like Fidelity, require a call from the client to release money, others like Northwestern Mutual require their own surrender form to accompany the 1035/transfer form from the company receiving the money.
|
|
|
|
Attach a copy of a current policy/ account statement for the funds being transferred to the 1035/transfer document.
Complete the 1035/transfer form carefully and completely. Be sure all necessary signatures are obtained.
Send original transfer forms with the application to 3 Mark for processing.

Help clients share medical records instantly
We’re excited to share that Principal® is working with Human API to make it easier to sell life insurance policies and speed up the application process by helping clients share their medical records electronically during the underwriting process.
Traditionally, it can take from three to six weeks to gather this information from medical providers. With this easy online tool, policy issue time is reduced up to several weeks since results are immediate.
This safe and secure method keeps information protected and allows the process to keep moving. Principal receives the information in a couple of hours, which helps underwriting finish in a couple of days—offering significant cost savings with fewer cases lost due to process delays.

Visit the Life Insurance Underwriting website where we’ll house these tools for future reference.
