WAYS BANK OF MUM & DAD CAN GIVE

DEED OF GIFT

A Deed of Gift is a legal document that transfers ownership of a gift from one person (the donor) to another person (the donee). It is often used to give away personal property such as cash to buy property. A Deed of Gift establishes a clear record of the transfer of ownership and can be used to avoid disputes in the future.  - more...

DEED OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF DEBT

A Deed of Acknowledgement of Debt is a legal document that acknowledges a debt owed by one party (the debtor/borrower) to another party (the creditor/lender). This document is often used when a debtor and agrees to pay back the debt in a lump sum on the sale of the property.  - more...

FAMILY LOAN

A family loan is a loan that is provided by one family member to another. This type of loan can be used for financing a home purchase.

​

Family loans can have advantages over traditional loans from financial institutions. For example, they may have lower interest rates or more flexible repayment terms. Additionally, family members may be more willing to lend money without requiring a credit check or collateral.

​

In some cases some the parents may take a shareholding in the property and any future capital gain.  - more...

EARLY INHERITANCE

An early inheritance is when a person chooses to give a portion of their inheritance to their heirs before their death. This can be done for the purchase of property and use a Deed of Gift or Deed of Acknowledgement of Debt to document the transfer of assets.

​

There are several ways to provide an early inheritance, including gifting money or property, creating a trust, or transferring assets through joint ownership.

 

However, it is important to carefully consider the potential financial and tax implications of an early inheritance, as well as the potential impact on family dynamics and relationships.  - more...

TESTIMONIALS

Testimonials

My family and I approached Steve McGowan in 2009 because we were on the verge of losing our home. For sale signs were up on our lawn, our mortgage payments were nearly twice the amount of a normal mortgage and we also had to deal with an ex "cowboy" broker. Most of the brokers we approached earlier turned their back on us and said our situation was too difficult to help. However, Steve McGowan thought otherwise.

Steve helped us with his professional finance knowledge and banking experience as well as his hard determination. He managed to not only get us a fantastic mortgage loan with excellent rates but also assist in taking down a "cowboy" broker. My family were grateful for his advice, effort, and support.

 

I highly recommend Steve McGowan from Advoco services when you’re stuck in a huge financial rut or just need a little financial advice. No matter how big a problem, he'll be there to help.

 

Thanks again Steve.....you're THE MAN.
