JC, this format should work:

Quote:

To whom it may concern,

The purpose of this letter is to state that I am giving my (relationship between donor and recipient), (recipient's name), a gift of ($XX,XXX) to be used toward the purchase of a home. There is no expectation of repayment of this gift.

Sincerely,
(donor's name)


Also, after letter is made it should be signed and dated.

Letter Lichtenberg has given is of the short format and some lenders may not accept it.

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.

We recently had a death in the family and the heirs want to sell house of deceased to my Daughter the deceased grand daughter. question if all parties are in agreement can we reduce the sale of the house from 80000.00 to 60000.00 and consider the difference a gift of equity with out money changing hands, or should we just reduce the price?

Hi Omer,

Welcome to forums.

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

In the sample of your gift letter it states the amount that is given. 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?

Hi Chitiris,

As you are using 70,000 towards the purchase of the property, you should write that in the gift letter which you will be showing to the lender. 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

Hi Wajo,

There is no limit to the maximum number of family members who can gift you money to make the down payments. 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.

wajo, the fewer the better, though - just think of all the paperwork and the potential for confusion when this arrives in your lender's office. i agree with what jenkin7 told you, but caution you to keep it down to a dull roar, if possible.
