A Maine general bill of sale is completed by a buyer and a seller for the purposes of recording the sale of personal property. Having a record of a private sale can be useful to release the seller from liability and to prove the buyer’s ownership. A generic bill of sale contains blank fields so the buyer and seller can enter their personal information, a description of the item(s) sold, the total sale price, and their signatures. There is a notary acknowledgment section should the parties wish to have the document notarized.
