To transfer a trailer title in California, you'll need the original title certificate, an odometer disclosure statement (for trailers under 10 years old), a completed Application for Title or Registration (Form REG 343), and a Transfer of Title (Form REG 262).
Getting a bill of sale notarized isn't always required, but it's often worth the effort. Notarization provides solid proof of agreement and can protect you in legal disputes. Always check local DMV requirements for specific transactions to avoid potential issues.
Don't Accept Personal Checks When it's time to complete the sale don't accept a personal check or provide the buyer with your banking information. If the buyer needs to do a wire transfer, that can be accomplished without you divulging your bank information.
Sure a bill of sale can be handwritten. As a matter of fact, it appears that a bill of sale is not technically required in California. It is just highly recommended.
