Why You Need This Bill of Sale

For a Commercial Real Estate Broker in Indiana, a Bill of Sale is essential for isolating the transfer of tangible personal property—such as FF&E, specialized equipment, or tenant improvements—from the real estate deed. Under Indiana Code § 32-21-1-1, transactions exceeding $500 must be in writing to satisfy the Statute of Frauds. Properly documenting these assets mitigates misrepresentation claims, clarifies CAM charge baselines, and ensures that cap rate calculations are based on accurate asset inventories. Our document includes critical Indiana-specific protections, including at-will disclosures and compliance with the Indiana Deceptive Consumer Sales Act, protecting your commission and your client's interests.

Ind. Code § 32-21-1-1 — Indiana follows the traditional Statute of Frauds requiring certain types of contracts to be in writing. This includes contracts for the sale of land, agreements not to be performed within one year, and contracts for the sale of goods priced at $500 or more.

Frequently Asked Questions

01

How does Indiana's Statute of Frauds affect a commercial Bill of Sale?

According to Ind. Code § 32-21-1-1, any contract for the sale of goods priced at $500 or more must be in writing to be legally enforceable. In a commercial context, this often includes manufacturing equipment, office furniture, or inventory transferred during the sale of a property.

02

Does this document address Triple Net (NNN) lease complexities?

Yes. By clearly defining the 'Description of the Item Sold,' brokers can prevent disputes over which assets are landlord-owned versus tenant-owned, directly impacting CAM charge reconciliations and maintenance obligations under Indiana commercial lease law.

03

Is notarization required for an Indiana Bill of Sale?

While Indiana law generally requires signatures for enforceability, notarization is highly recommended for high-value commercial transactions to provide an extra layer of authenticity and to meet potential financing requirements under TILA or RESPA guidelines.

04

How can I protect my commission within this document?

The document allows for the inclusion of Broker-specific representations and acknowledgments, ensuring that the transfer of personal property does not trigger unforeseen commission disputes or lease liability issues.
