A New Hampshire bill of sale is a document that allows two (2) parties to a private sale to record the details of the transaction. A bill of sale is beneficial to both parties whether the seller is selling a car, a boat, a firearm, or any other type of personal property. The form provides space for the parties to write their names and contact information, a description of the property sold, the total sale price, and their signatures. In some cases, especially with items of great value, the buyer and seller may wish to have a notary public witness the signing and include their signature and notary seal.
