If a policy owner has no intention of withdrawing the cash value during the insured persons lifetime, there are
no consequences of the life insurance contracts qualification as a modified endowment contract.
Named after Section 1035
of the Internal Revenue Code, a 1035 exchange allows
life insurance policy owners (and annuity
contract owners) to exchange an old policy (or
contract) for a new one from a different
insurance company without tax
consequences.
