Hi All
I am in the process of lending money to daughter. Does anybody know where to download an application form for her.
It does not have to be complicated.

    Why on earth do you need an application form? Are you going to be assessing the information and possibly turn her down?

    If you want something in writing just write something like:
    I <name> am borrowing £xxx from <your name>, I will pay this back at a rate of xxx per month starting on date: xx/xx/2011
    Signed __________________

    That's it really.

    Or you could just trust your daughter and not treat her like a bank customer (unless she's proven untrust worthy in the past that is).

    I'm guessing you mean some kind of paper record of amount lent and repayments, etc. No worries, just agree whatever you agree to, including payback dayes, etc., then write it in plain English on paper and both sign it. Decide in advance what the penalties/repercussions are if something goes wrong (you reclaim and sell her car/she puts you in her will/she owes you a bottle of gin with each delayed payment/you nag her every day/no supper for a week/whatever) as a contract/agreement should be written in peacetime before money gets involved, but plan for wartime when things go wrong. Just removes the ambiguity, and the last thing you want when it comes to loans/money is ambiguity, daughter or not. Families often fall out over money, I think you're doing the right thing trying to formalise it.
  • Many thanks to you all. The marrage is shakey so I am trying to ring fence the loan. I will take your advices. Once again thanks.

    Vryx.

    Read the sticky about lending to families.The general rule is if you can't afford to give the money then don't lend it.
