# Bill of Sale Drafts a jurisdiction-aware U.S. Bill of Sale transferring personal property ownership from seller to buyer. ## Prerequisites Collect before drafting: 1. **Property** — type, make, model, year, serial/VIN/HIN, condition, mileage (vehicles) 2. **Parties** — full legal names, addresses, capacity (individual or entity) 3. **Terms** — purchase price, payment method, deposit, closing/delivery date 4. **Condition basis** — as-is or seller warranty (scope and duration) 5. **Jurisdiction** — state of sale (governs notarization, witnesses, title transfer) 6. **Lien status** — existing liens, security interests, or encumbrances ## Document Sections Draft in this order: | Section | Content | |---|---| | Recitals | Date, party names/addresses, property identification | | Consideration | Price (numeral + written), payment method, receipt acknowledgment | | Transfer of Ownership | Conveyance language, effective date, delivery terms | | Condition | As-is disclaimer (must be conspicuous) OR limited warranty with scope/duration | | Title Warranty | Clear and marketable title, authority to sell | | Lien Release | Free of encumbrances, or disclosure of exceptions | | Risk of Loss | When risk passes (typically delivery or execution) | | Indemnification | Seller indemnifies against pre-closing claims | | Governing Law | State; dispute resolution forum | | Signatures | Seller + date, buyer + date, notary block if required | ## Property-Type Addenda | Type | Additional Requirements | |---|---| | Motor Vehicle | VIN, odometer disclosure per 49 U.S.C. § 32705 [VERIFY], state DMV form | | Watercraft | HIN, USCG documentation number if federally documented, state registration | | Firearms | Note federal FFL dealer-transfer requirements; never draft as private-transfer workaround | | Business Equipment | Itemized asset schedule as Exhibit A; serial numbers; software license assignments | | Livestock | Brand/tag ID, health certificates, breed registration if applicable | ## Workflow ``` - [ ] Collect all prerequisites from client - [ ] Identify property type and select applicable addenda - [ ] Draft document sections in order above - [ ] Apply jurisdiction-specific execution requirements (notarization, witnesses) - [ ] If as-is: make disclaimer conspicuous (bold, caps, or set apart) per UCC § 2-316 - [ ] If entity seller: confirm signatory authority (corporate resolution or operating agreement) - [ ] If multi-asset: attach itemized Exhibit A, incorporate by reference - [ ] Flag sales/use tax obligation to buyer (do not advise on tax liability) - [ ] Review for scope creep — bill of sale should not double as security agreement or financing statement ``` ## Pitfalls - **Odometer disclosure**: Federal law requires written disclosure for most vehicles under 10 model years old — include or attach the federal form [VERIFY current requirements] - **Notarization**: Required by some states for vehicle title transfers (AL, LA, MD, MT, NH, WV, WY) [VERIFY per state DMV] — flag based on jurisdiction - **Witnesses**: Several states require one or two witnesses on personal property transfers — confirm per jurisdiction - **As-is conspicuousness**: UCC § 2-316 requires as-is disclaimers be conspicuous to disclaim implied warranties — failure to set apart risks unenforceability - **Firearms**: Never draft a bill of sale that bypasses federally required FFL dealer involvement for regulated transfers - **Scope**: Keep bills of sale clean — draft security agreements and financing statements separately
