Is it a gift—or a $500,000 mistake?
Gavin Tighe and Stephen Thiele examine one of the thorniest issues in today’s overheated real estate market: when parents help their kids buy a home, is it really a gift? Or a ticking legal time bomb?
Using a fascinating case as their backdrop, they unravel the legal complexity behind intergenerational transfers of wealth, gift letters, resulting trusts, and how mortgage requirements can force a legal narrative.
Before you write that cheque—or accept it—listen in to learn how to avoid turning generosity into a courtroom battle.
