A Georgia bill of sale form documents the sale of personal property in a private transaction between a seller and a buyer. At a minimum, the form will include a description of the item being sold, its price, the transaction date, and the signatures of one or both parties. Implementing a bill of sale creates a record of the transaction and protects both parties from any liability regarding the item’s ownership.
