Hey, guys, I need some help writing a Letter of Intent. Do any of you have experience with this sort of thing or can provide sage advice?

My mother had obtained a Reverse Mortgage on our house about six months prior to her death. Her loan is currently at $90,000. My sister and I have both discussed the future of our family home and it's been agreed that I become the one financially responsible for obtaining a loan and paying off the debt. After speaking to the bank today, they requested a Letter of Intent, ie, what my plans are for the property.

Being that a Letter of Intent is a legally binding document, I want to make certain that my wording is accurate. So, if any of you have had experience with this sort of thing or can direct me to an advice site, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!

I would ask your loan officer to draft one for you to sign. You're paying the mortgage company beaucoup de bucks, put 'em to work.

just use a bunch of disclaimers that makes clear that your plans may change.

or go talk to a lawyer.

For example:

Quote:
Except for [specifically identify any binding provisions], the remainder of the terms contained within this Letter is not intended to, and does not, constitute a complete statement of, or a legally binding or enforceable agreement or commitment with respect to the proposed Transactions, and the parties hereto agree not to assert any argument to the contrary. A legally binding or enforceable agreement with respect to the proposed Transactions would only arise as a result of the negotiation, execution and delivery of formal Definitive Agreements with respect to the proposed Transactions. The Parties specifically covenant and agree that no person shall bring any claim against any other person based upon this Letter as a result of the failure to agree on or enter into Definitive Agreements nor will this letter give rise to any damages against a Party or any right or obligation based on any legal or equitable theory including any right to continue negotiations.

I should add that this above post does not constitute legal advice, that I'm not an expert, yada yada yada ;)

and its pulled from a loi for a corporate acquisition...obviously you'd need to taylor it to your needs.

yep

The loan is big enough that you can make a many-thousands of dollars mistake with the wording. Spend the $100-300 on a lawyer and get it done right.
