Sales & Transfer Law in Michigan

MCL 566.132 — Michigan's Statute of Frauds requires certain agreements to be in writing to be enforceable, including contracts that cannot be performed within one year. There are variations from the common law that make understanding Michigan's specific requirements important for contracts.

What Makes a Bill of Sale Legally Valid

For this bill of sale to be legally valid:

  • +Both parties must accurately identify and include contact information.
  • +The bill of sale must include a detailed description of the item being sold.
  • +Purchase price and payment terms must be clearly stated.
  • +Required signatures must be present. Signatures of both the buyer and the seller are generally required, and sometimes that of a witness or notary, as per state law.

Frequently Asked Questions

01

How does the Michigan Statute of Frauds impact my tutorial Bill of Sale?

Under MCL 566.132, Michigan law requires certain contracts—including those that cannot be performed within one year or involve significant asset transfers—to be in writing and signed. This Bill of Sale satisfies the requirement for a written record, ensuring your transfer of lesson plans or curriculum is legally enforceable.

02

Can I include a disclaimer regarding student performance outcomes in the Bill of Sale?

Yes. To mitigate common liabilities regarding student performance, the 'Warranties and Disclaimers' section allows you to clarify that the materials are sold 'as-is' without guarantees of specific grades or SAT/ACT scores, which is a critical protection for Michigan educators.

03

Are there Michigan-specific labor or privacy concerns when selling a tutoring business?

Absolutely. When transferring records, you must comply with the Bullard-Plawecki Employee Right to Know Act if personnel files are involved, and ensure no student data transfers violate Michigan data breach notification laws or FERPA-adjacent privacy standards for minor students.
