State notes
Rules for this document change from state to state. Choose your state in the form above, or read the short notes below for the states where this document is prepared most often.
Texas
Texas bills of sale should list the VIN, odometer, and sale price for the title. A Houston buyer submits it to the county tax office. Notarization is not mandatory.
California
California uses form REG 135 for vehicle bills of sale, signed by buyer and seller. A Los Angeles buyer submits it with the title to the DMV. A smog check usually accompanies the private sale.
Florida
Florida recommends a notarized vehicle bill of sale and a title transfer within 30 days. A Miami buyer files it with the county tax collector. The form sets the official sale date.
Executor and guardians
Name an executor the court will accept and who can locate the assets. If minor children are involved, name a guardian so the court has your stated preference.
Specific versus residual gifts
List particular items or sums first, then direct the residuary estate to a backup beneficiary. A clear residuary clause avoids property passing under default state rules.
Common uses
A simple family will
A resident leaves the house to a spouse and the baseball cards to a nephew, names an executor, and signs with two neighbors as witnesses.
Updating after a move
A testator signs a new will after moving states, since witness and self-proving rules differ by location.
Leaving a business interest
An owner directs the operating interest to a co-owner and the rest of the estate to the children in equal shares.

Can I write my own will?
