There is no expectation of repayment of this gift. Sincerely, (donor's name) Also, after letter is made it should be signed and dated.

You can use this detalied format also. Take out a print of the letter and show it to your lender he will tell you if it can be used or not. Quote: GIFT LETTER I/WE ______________________________________________________________________ ________ YOUR NAME(S) residing at ______________________________________________________________________ ______ YOUR ADDRESS and TELEPHONE NUMBER AM/ARE the ____________________________ of [home buyer's name]. RELATIONSHIP I/We have given or will give the sum of $____________ as a gift to [home buyer's name] towards the purchase of the property located at: [property address] I/We certify that the above gift was or is given in good faith and repayment of such gift is not required. The funds given to [buyer's name] were not made available from any person or entity with an interest in the sale of the property including the seller, real estate agent, broker, builder, loan officer or any entity associated with them. The above funds will be drawn on my account with _________________________________________ NAME OF YOUR BANK _________________________________________ ADDRESS OF YOUR BANK _________________________________________ ACCOUNT NUMBER ________________________________ SIGNATURE OF GIFT DONOR Date: _____________________________ ________________________________ SIGNATURE OF BORROWER #1 Date: _____________________________

You can reduce the price if that makes it easy for you to buy the home. But if you consider the remaining as gift of equity, your daughter need not pay gift taxes on what she recives. Rather, the individuals offering the gift will have tax considerations provided they don't qualify for gift tax exemptions . Thanks

However, it says "towards the purchase of the property located" what if we recieve 100,000 however only use 70,000 towards the purchase of the new home and the rest we use to help us move and cover breaking our current rental lease?

You will not have to write 100,000. However, the person gifting you the money will be paying gift taxes. if any, on the 100,000 and not on the 70,000. Thanks

If there are, say, 10 of your family members who want to assist you with the down payment, they can go ahead and do so. As long as you are not borrowing the money to make the down payment and you can show the lender the source of the gift money, there should not be any problem for you.

Now that's not to say that the government couldn't reinstitute it at some date in the future, but for now, it is gone. _________________ George M.
