It is important to make sure all the requirements for the respected state law are included in the bill of sale. As, with any legal written document a bill of sale can be handwritten.

One of these documents is the bill of sale. While a bill of sale isn't legally required, and doesn't replace a title transfer, it is highly recommended and protects both the buyer and seller from fraud, theft, or mistakes.
The form also documents the sale and is the legal receipt. Keep copies of the bill of sale (FLHSMV recommends having it notarized), certificate of title or other type of transaction document showing it was sold.
When transferring a title, you will need a Florida vehicle bill of sale. This documentation is necessary for everyone looking to register their new car. Transferring ownership of a motor vehicle will also need to be notarized.
A completed 'Bill of Sale' serves as proof that ownership has been transferred from the seller to the buyer. It also absolves the seller of any future liabilities related to the vehicle. The new owner can then use this document to transfer title and register the vehicle in Florida within 30 days or face penalties.
