A bill of sale is a written receipt that transfers ownership of personal property, such as equipment, furniture, a boat, a trailer, livestock or business assets, from a seller to a buyer. Notarizing it makes it stronger proof of ownership.
A general release ends a dispute: one party gives up all claims about a specific matter, usually in exchange for payment. It is used for minor accidents, property damage, business disputes and private settlements.
Title companies, lenders, retirement plans and business partners sometimes ask a spouse who is not on the title or account to sign a written consent, so the transaction cannot be challenged later.
