In order to sell personal property or an item, you must prepare a Bill of Sale, because the new owner must register it. Otherwise, you will not be able to complete your sale. If you sell a piece of property, a bill of sale confirms either that you own it or that you are no longer responsible for it.
The general bill of sale is available for download on this page in a variety of formats. Both PDF and Word formats are available for download.
Step 1. As soon as you draft the paperwork, you should include the date on the first page. Ensure that the date is entered correctly. You need to include the buyer and seller's names after the date. You should also include their addresses. It is imperative that both parties provide their postal addresses.
Step 2. Below you will find all the information about the property you will need. Serial numbers, manufacture dates, color schemes, and brands are just a few of the information that can be recorded. Review the product details carefully to avoid being misled.
Step 3. In this section, you will find all the necessary financial information. If the amount is in dollars, please provide words along with the figures. In the event you prefer one method over another, describe it in this field. Installment payments can be made in advance or a lump sum can be paid later. The buyer has the option to exchange the property. The choice is yours.
Step 4. The general bill of sale is typically used to sell personal property without securing a buyer's guarantee. It is common for a general bill to say that the property will be sold "as is". Both the buyer and seller should comprehend this section in its entirety in order to reach a successful future agreement.
Step 5. It is mandatory for both the buyer and seller to sign the bill of sale after a sale has been completed. Notarization is required for the sale to be valid. Keeping a copy of all documents is a good idea for security purposes, tax purposes as well as future reference. It should be tucked away in a safe but readily accessible place
