Getting a bill of sale notarized isn't always required, but it's often worth the effort. Notarization provides solid proof of agreement and can protect you in legal disputes. Always check local DMV requirements for specific transactions to avoid potential issues.
While it is common to present a bill of sale in a digital format, you can also create a handwritten bill of sale. What's most important is to include all of the pertinent details in the bill of sale in order to protect both parties.
If your state does not provide a digital bill of sale form, yes, you can handwrite one yourself. As long as the document includes all the necessary information and has consent from both parties and a notary, both digital and handwritten bills of sale are valid.
Don't Accept Personal Checks When it's time to complete the sale don't accept a personal check or provide the buyer with your banking information. If the buyer needs to do a wire transfer, that can be accomplished without you divulging your bank information.
