bill of sale

A bill of sale is a legal document made by a 'seller' to a purchaser, reporting that on a specific date, at a specific locality, and for a particular sum of money or other "value received", the seller sold to the purchaser a specific item of personal, or parcel of real, property of which he had lawful possession. It may take the form of something like the following:

For the sum of five hundred clams (C.500,-) I hereby convey to Joe Blow full ownership of a beige Acme whatchamahoozit, serial number DH500-1234567. (Signed) John Doe

In some jurisdictions, sale of automobiles, firearms, or real estate require additional supporting documentation and reporting to transfer the title. You may use the bill of sale to sell vehicles such as cars, boats, motorcycles or almost anything that has an engine.
