Overview

Selling something privately goes smoother when both people sign the same clear piece of paper. This set gives you a separate form for each kind of sale, so the right details are already asked for: VIN and odometer for a car, hull ID for a boat, trailer type for a trailer.

Every form records who is buying and selling, what changes hands, the price, deposit and balance, how it was paid, the as-is terms and an ownership and liens statement, with signature lines for both sides. Add the optional notary page if you need one.

  • A form for each sale

    Vehicle, motorcycle, boat, trailer and general personal property.

  • Three ways to fill

    Type into the fillable PDF, edit the Word file or use the Google Doc.

  • Covers the key terms

    Price, deposit, payment method, as-is terms and liens statement.

  • Sale checklist

    What to do before, during and after a private sale.

Questions

What should a bill of sale include?

These forms cover the seller and buyer, a description of the item, the sale price, deposit and balance, payment method, as-is terms, an ownership and liens statement and both signatures. The vehicle form adds VIN, odometer, title number and plate.

Does a bill of sale need to be notarized?

It depends on where you live. Some states require a notary, their own form or extra disclosures, so check your state's rules. An optional notary acknowledgment page is included in case you need it.

Can I fill it in on my computer?

Yes. Open the fillable PDF in a free reader such as Adobe Acrobat Reader or Mac Preview, click into the fields and type, then print.

Can I use it for a boat or trailer?

Yes. There is a separate boat form with hull ID, registration and motor details, and a trailer form for utility, cargo, car, horse and camper trailers.
