打算借钱给婚姻中的子女?
打算借钱给婚姻中的子女?您一定要回避这些问题! 在卑诗省,我们的家庭婚姻法律师对父母在子女婚姻中贷款与借款可能产生的影响有丰富的经验。如果夫妻中有一人的父母在两人的婚姻中借钱或贷款给他们,而他们要面临离婚,那么BC省新实施的《家庭法法令》可能会对他们有所影响。如果父母在借钱时没有相应的合约,而只是口头说说或是握个手就了事,以后事情就会变得很麻烦。如果您在卑诗省而且有这方面的疑问,欢迎您随时拨打我们的免费专线1-877-602-9900,与我们对婚姻中父母贷款、借款有丰富经验的律师团队联系。 如何避免犯下大错 父母卷入子女离婚财产划分纠纷最常见的起因就是他们在子女婚姻中借钱或贷款给后者,无论是帮助子女买房子或是在其经济困难时帮一把手,帮他们还清债务。在子女婚姻结束时,双方往往对这些钱到底是“借”的、“贷”的、还是干脆就是“给”的,会有不同的意见。如果您的本意是借或者是贷给子女钱,请务必要签下相应的合约。如果不这样,您的“贷款”很可能就会在子女离婚时变成争端的中心——双方可能会就它到底是贷款还是一份大礼而争论不休。 在法庭如何判定过户的钱到底是借还是给的话题上,我们已经写了几篇文章来专门介绍。另外我们也介绍过如果本意是借的钱如果没有书面凭据作证的话会发生什么情况。所以,这篇文章里我们假定您在当初借钱的时候已经同时把所有的字据都准备妥当了。 如果您是想借钱给子女,现在就写下字据以免将来头痛——而且还要记得追讨欠款是有时间限制的! 如果您确实是借钱给子女,那么一份条款清楚的登记的贷款证明(registered mortgage)或是一张欠条(promissory note)就可以防止您在几年之后为上述情况而头痛不已。但是您也要千万记得—— 您追讨欠款的权利是有期限的! 如果您的欠条是在2013年6月1日之前签署的,您只有6年的时间可以追讨欠款,而且是从您在签署欠条的那一刻开始计时。如果您在六年之内没有收回借款,而且你想把你的钱讨回来,您必须要在6年期限到期之前就提出诉讼追讨,否则卑诗省旧的《有效期限法》(BC Limitation Act) 会在6个月期限到期之后永久性地取消您诉讼追讨这笔钱的权利。这个规则是卑诗省最高权威的法院——BC省上诉法院(BC Court of Appeal)在其2014年做出来的判决 Kong v. Saunders 中重复强的。 但是,如果您的欠条是在2013年6月一日之后签署的,那么新的《有效期限法》就生效了。在新法中,有效期限改为2年,但它并不是从您签下欠条那一刻算起,而是从您第一次开口和欠款人要钱的那一刻开始算起(详情参见新的《卑诗有效期限法》第14条)。 借钱而没有留下字据,那就怪不得别人了。 卑诗新的家庭婚姻法《家庭法法令》(Family Law Act) 相关的案例都说明:如果您在借钱的时候没有留下任何相应字据,那您的钱会被假定为是送的礼物。所以,您在借钱给别人的时候请务必考虑再三,做出明智的决定。 只需要您的一通电话,我们在卑诗省对父母借款贷款之话题有相当经验的律师团队就可以在您借钱出去之前指导您如何正确的处理下一步的动作,让所有人都清楚地知道您的本意。我们在温哥华,基隆那,素里,圣约翰堡都有分部,请拨打我们的免费电话:1-877-602-9900,与我们在跨越卑诗省的四个分布中的一个坐下来详谈。
