Increasingly, home buyers are turning to parents, family members and others to take their first step on the property ladder. A key issue that often emerges is whether the funds were a gift or loan. This webinar will enable you to provide effective advice in this area. It will have a strong focus on whether clients need to make a written demand for the repayment of a loan and the circumstances in which the six-year limitation period applies.

The presentation will include:

• An overview of the legal principles relevant to the issues
• Case law updates on inter-family gift, loan and resulting trust claims
• Common pitfalls in inter-family loan documentation and how this is relevant in litigation and the six-year limitation period.
