The Seller hereby sells, transfers, assigns, and conveys to the Buyer, and the Buyer hereby purchases and accepts from the Seller, the following described personal property (the "Property"): [item_description]. The Buyer acknowledges that the Buyer has had a full and adequate opportunity to inspect the Property prior to the execution of this Agreement and accepts the Property in its current condition as described herein.
The total purchase price for the Property is [sale_price] (the "Purchase Price"), payable in full by the Buyer to the Seller on or before the Sale Date. The Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that the Purchase Price represents the fair and agreed-upon value of the Property as negotiated between the Parties at arm's length. Upon receipt of the Purchase Price in full, the Seller shall be deemed to have been fully compensated for the sale, transfer, and conveyance of the Property, and the Seller shall have no further right, title, or interest in or to the Property or the Purchase Price.
The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Buyer that: (a) the Seller is the sole and lawful owner of the Property and has full right, power, and authority to sell, transfer, and convey the Property to the Buyer; (b) the Property is free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, security interests, pledges, claims, charges, and restrictions of any kind whatsoever; (c) the Seller has not previously sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or otherwise encumbered the Property or any interest therein to any other person or entity; and (d) the Seller will defend the Buyer's title to the Property against any and all claims and demands of any person or entity claiming an interest therein.

From and after the transfer of title, the Buyer shall be solely responsible for the Property, including its care, maintenance, insurance, and all risks of loss, damage, theft, or destruction. The Seller agrees to execute and deliver to the Buyer any and all additional documents, instruments, or certificates as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to evidence or effectuate the transfer of title to the Property.

In the locksmith industry, transferring ownership of specialized assets like master key systems, code cutters, and access control hardware requires more than a generic receipt. Under Michigan's Statute of Frauds (MCL 566.132), high-value transfers must be in writing to be enforceable. Whether you are selling a mobile locksmith unit or inventory of deadbolts and rekey kits, this Bill of Sale protects you from liability regarding unauthorized entry claims or key duplication disputes. By clearly defining 'as-is' status and verifying the transfer of proprietary data used in master keying, you ensure compliance with the Michigan Consumer Protection Act and protect your business reputation.
Beyond the standard bill of sale sections, this template adds fields specific to Locksmith:
A Bill of Sale serves the core legal purpose of providing proof of the transfer of ownership of an item from the seller to the buyer. It formalizes the transaction and fulfills the legal need for documentation of the sale, aiding in preventing disputes over ownership and clarifying the terms and conditions agreed upon by the parties involved.
Property Damage Liability
Liability can often be limited through disclaimers in service agreements and obtaining customer's acknowledgment prior to service commencement.
Unauthorized Entry Claims
Contracts should clearly define the circumstances under which entry will be provided, including verification of customer's authority to grant access.
Under MCL 566.132, any agreement that cannot be performed within one year or involves high-value property should be in writing. For locksmiths selling complex access control systems or long-term service contracts, a formal Bill of Sale ensures the transaction is legally enforceable in Michigan courts.
Yes. A critical pain point for locksmiths is the liability associated with master key creation and management. This document includes recommended clauses for Seller's Representations and Buyer's Acknowledgments to ensure the recipient understands the security implications and accepts responsibility for the system's future use.
While Michigan law does not require notarization for all personal property sales, it is highly recommended for high-value locksmith assets or those involving professional licensing requirements to verify the identity of the parties and prevent future disputes over signature authenticity.
By including specific 'Warranties and Disclaimers' as-is clauses, you can protect yourself from claims that equipment, such as forced entry tools or electronic locks, caused damage post-sale. The document allows you to detail the condition of the hardware at the time of the transfer.
