Hi, I'm new to this but need advice. My parents have given me and my brother a substantial cash gift.A gift letter is an important, formal, legal piece of documentation that can help explain that a (usually rather large) sum of money was gifted to you. Transfer property or money to someone with our revocable or irrevocable Gift Deed template. It's tailored to your state's laws. Download a gift affidavit form in PDF or Word format to attest to and record the gratuitous and voluntary transfer of a gift. Use this gift agreement template as a starting point to spell out and document what your donor expects and what your nonprofit is committed to providing. As I understand it, a parent can gift £3,000 per year to a child free of any IHT liability. The letter will need to explain who is gifting the money, where the funds are coming from and the relationship between the donor and the recipient. One cannot buy, hold, gift or borrow anything that is illegal.
