What is a Nevada Bill of Sale?

A Nevada bill of sale illustrates the business contract between a buyer and seller. It records essential information about the purchase to prove a change of possession happened.

The seller cannot claim ownership or revoke the sale once they sign the form. Generally, a bill of sale prevents miscommunication between the buyer and seller because it outlines the exact terms of the agreement. By signing, they acknowledge the information in the document and verify it as accurate.

An owner can do the following with a bill of sale:

Use the form as proof of ownership;
Re-sell the item;
Exchange the personal property for something of similar value; and/or
Gift the object to another person.
