LISA conditions

Hi, My daughter has just started saving in to LISA.  I intend to leave my home to her and my done which will be mortgage free.  Can the LISA be used to raise half the value as a mortgage to pay off my son? Thanks

  • Short answer: no, generally you can’t use someone else’s Lifetime ISA (LISA) to raise a mortgage in the way you’re describing, because of how the LISA rules work.

    If she inherits a share in the home, then she would no longer be eligible to use her LISA for a property purchase without paying the withdrawal penalty.

    Unless your planning on dying anytime soon she'll probably have bought a house by then.
