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.
Upon execution of this Agreement and receipt of the Purchase Price in full, the Seller hereby irrevocably transfers, assigns, and conveys to the Buyer all of the Seller's right, title, and interest in and to the Property, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, and claims of any kind. Title to and risk of loss of the Property shall pass from the Seller to the Buyer upon the execution of this Agreement and payment of the Purchase Price. 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.
5.1 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the state in which the transaction is consummated, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. 5.2 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, negotiations, and discussions, whether oral or written, between the Parties relating to the sale and purchase of the Property. 5.3 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. 5.4 Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except by a written instrument signed by both Parties. 5.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 5.6 Binding Effect.

As a Michigan moving company owner, managing assets like trucks, dollies, and specialized packing materials requires precise documentation to mitigate property damage claims and valuation disputes. A legally sound Bill of Sale ensures you comply with the Michigan Consumer Protection Act and MCL 566.132 for contract enforceability. Whether you are liquidating fleet vehicles or selling specialized inventory, our document addresses key FMCSA context while protecting you with essential Michigan-specific governing law clauses, including modified comparative fault and Bullard-Plawecki disclosure requirements.
Beyond the standard bill of sale sections, this template adds fields specific to Moving Company Owner:
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 Claims
Use of detailed contracts with clauses for valuation coverage options and explicit liability limits; use of detailed inventory lists and condition reports.
Worker Injuries
Implementation of comprehensive safety and training programs; use of workers' compensation insurance.
While a standard Bill of Sale transfers ownership of assets, as a mover, you must distinguish between the sale of goods and moving services. For the latter, you must clearly document valuation options—Full Value Protection vs. Released Value—to mitigate liability for property damage claims as per FMCSA and Michigan standards.
Under MCL 566.132, any agreement that cannot be performed within one year must be in writing. For moving company owners, this means most equipment financing or multi-part asset transfers must have a formal, signed Bill of Sale to be enforceable in a Michigan court.
Yes. Beyond identifying the parties and purchase price, you must account for Michigan's modified comparative fault rules in your 'As-Is' disclaimers. If you are selling equipment that involves personnel records or buyer/seller employees, you must also be mindful of the Bullard-Plawecki Employee Right to Know Act (MCL 423.501).
Under Michigan law, while a simple signature often suffice for small assets, high-value transactions or those involving vehicle title transfers frequently require notarization to establish authenticity and prevent ownership disputes or fraud in the secondary market.
