Good to know
- Many lenders have their own gift letter form. If yours does, fill theirs too; this sworn version is extra proof.
- The money must not be repaid. If it is really a loan, saying it is a gift is mortgage fraud.
- Bring a bank statement showing the money leaving your account and arriving in theirs.
