What is an Alaska Bill of Sale?

An Alaska bill of sale is a simple document that provides a buyer and seller with a receipt for the reassignment of ownership for an item. Buyers can pay the owner by cash or trade, as long as both parties record the transaction type.

In some cases, an individual can gift the item to another person using a bill of sale form. Regardless of the payment method, the personal property must undergo a fair value assessment to ensure both parties receive the best deal possible.

Gifting is another way to switch possession of an item. If a merchant gifts personal property, they give it to another person for zero compensation. Under these circumstances, the gifter and giftee should complete a bill of sale as evidence the transfer took place. This step protects both parties from legal accusations as it confirms the deal and change of ownership.
