Do Not Use If:

  • – If the vehicle is being sold as part of a divorce settlement or estate settlement, specific legal procedures may need to be followed, and a Bill of Sale may not suffice. Legal counsel should be sought in these situations.
  • – In instances where the vehicle is being donated rather than sold, a different form may be necessary to document the donation and any tax implications. A Bill of Sale is typically not used for charitable donations.
  • – When selling a vehicle that is not in operable condition, additional disclosures may be required to inform the buyer of the vehicle's condition. A standard Bill of Sale may not adequately cover these disclosures.
