Hello all,
I'm buying a house thanks to a generous gift of a deposit from my mum (12k)
My solicitor has been in contact with my mum asking her for several documents including screenshots of her account with the money in, signed letter from my grandmother explaining that the money was originally a gift from her, my mum's last 3 months payslips - irrelevant as the money hasn't been earned through her job.
If my mum simply transfers the money to my account, does it therefore remove the need for her to pull all these documents together? She works approx 70 hours a week and I feel a bad for adding to her workload. Is this normal procedure from the solicitor?
Many thanks!
