No, notarization is not required for a mortgage gift letter. The letter should include key details about the donor, the buyer, and the gift amount, including: Donor's name, address, and relationship to the buyer.

Different states have unique laws on whether a promissory note must be notarized. In New York, notarization isn't mandated for promissory notes to be enforceable. However, in California, while not explicitly required by law, notarization adds an extra layer of protection and legitimacy.

A gift letter for a mortgage shows your lender that you don't need to repay gift money toward your down payment. Here's a sample gift letter you can use to prove that the money is truly meant as an outright gift, with no expectation of repayment.You can use gifted funds to make a down payment, but your mortgage lender will want to know some details before they allow you to use it. A gift letter is a document certifying that your family member is giving you money to cover all or a portion of your down payment or closing costs. Gift funds may not be contributed from any source that has an interest in the sale of the property (seller, builder, real estate agent, etc.). Cash gifts from others can be used toward a down payment or home purchase. If you would like to order a Gift Deed, please click the button to fill out the Deed order form.
