Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New Jersey

I wish to buy my parents house. The house is currently listed at 240,000. I would like to purchase the house for 300,000 and have my parents give me 60,000 as a gift of equity. The 60,000 would be a 20% down payment ,while eliminating the mortgage insurance, and still give me a loan amount of 240,000. Is there anything about doing this that is illegal?
