Statement of gift — sworn template
This statement attests, under oath, that one person has given a sum of money or an item to another — by specifying the amount or a description of the item, the date, the relationship between the people, and the fact that the gift is final, with no consideration or obligation to repay.
It is frequently requested by a mortgage lender (down payment from a gift), by an immigration organization (proof of funds), or as part of a tax or estate process.
What is this template for?
It formally records, under oath, a declaration of a gift made to an identified person, confirming that no repayment is expected.
When can it be used?
- Confirming to a lender that part of the down payment comes from a family gift
- Supporting proof of funds for an immigration application
- Documenting a gift of money or property between relatives
Before using it
If the lender, financial institution, or organization provides its own gift letter to complete, that document must be used first — its formatting requirements are often strict.
