A gift of equity is not allowed when the seller is an estate. This is even true when the buyer is family of the deceased. This will not take the place of a transfer on death deed or a life estate. The only way a gift of equity works is if there is actual equity that already exists.
In the case of a family gift, the amount is disclosed as an other credit in the cost to close section of the Loan Estimate (LE) and the Closing Disclosure (CD).
A gift of equity occurs when someone sells property to a family member or close associate for a lower price than the current market value. The difference between the two prices represents the gift of equity. The gift of equity generally serves as the homebuyer's down payment.
Gifts of equity, like other gifts, aren't taxable to the recipient. The seller might have to file a gift return. They're allowed to give $15,000 per person each year without having to file a gift return. So, if the gift of equity they gave you is less than $30,000, they don't have to file the return.
On page 3 of the Closing Disclosure, the Calculating Cash to Close table and Summaries of Transaction table are disclosed. For transactions without a seller, a Payoffs and Payments table may be substituted for the Summaries of Transactions table and placed before the Alternative Calculating Cash to Close table.
