The Indiana Bill of Sale Forms are legal documents that are implemented between seller and buyer as a way to provide evidence of a sale that has occurred. These forms will also prove a change of ownership. Some of the forms will require notarization. If the form has to be notarized, do not provide signature until all signing parties are before a notary public.
