Kentucky bill of sale forms allow for the exchange and transfer of property between a buyer and seller. These documents are most commonly used for motor vehicles, but they can also be used for any type of personal property, including firearms. A bill of sale acts as a record for a transaction that has already occurred, protecting the involved parties from any potential liability.
