You're fine without a gift letter. If the funds can't be sourced and seasoned, and there isn't a gift letter, your lender would ``back out'' the funds that are ineligible to be sourced, meaning they can't be used as down payment or reserve funds when the file is underwritten.
Gift funds must be from an acceptable source such as savings accounts, stocks or savings bonds. Gift funds must be verified entering into a borrower's bank account and leaving the donor's bank account.
Documentation Requirements The gift letter must: specify the actual or the maximum dollar amount of the gift; include the donor's statement that no repayment is expected; and. indicate the donor's name, address, telephone number, and relationship to the borrower.
Documentation Requirements Gifts must be evidenced by a letter signed by the donor, called a gift letter. When the gift is sourced by a trust established by an acceptable donor or an estate of an acceptable donor, the gift letter must be signed by the donor and list the name of the trust or the estate account.
Your lender may provide you with a gift letter template. If that's the case, you can simply pass it along to the gift giver and have them fill it out. If the lender doesn't provide you with a gift letter template, be sure to verify the gift letter requirements.
