The Missouri bill of sale forms are created to help buyers and sellers document the transfer of ownership of personal property. These forms are types of receipts that include the items that were sold, the date of the transaction, the contact information of both parties, and the parties’ signatures to prove authenticity. For an extra layer of validity, the buyer and seller may wish to sign the bill of sale in the presence of a notary public or witnesses. Bills of sale aren’t always necessary when buying and seller personal property privately; however, the buyer may need a bill of sale to title or register a vehicle (car, truck, boat, etc.) after the sale.
