The Minnesota bill of sale form establishes a useful timeline for the transfer of a piece of personal property within a written contract. The paperwork can be further legitimized should you retain the services of a professional notary to assist you during the signing of the form. The language of the agreement points out specific facts on the seller, buyer, item, and provisions to the exchange.
