Yes, if you are paying cash the closing agent will require you bring a cashiers check for the total amount due, they do not question where the funds come from.  If you are using the HELOC to give your child a down payment, the lender your child is obtaining financing from will require a letter explaining that the funds are a gift with no repayment required
