The Kentucky Bill of Sale Forms are considered legal documents to show proof that items have been legally purchased and sold between two parties (dealer or private party) and that change of ownership has been authorized. Some documents may require notarization, therefore, unless all signatories are before a notary, it’s advised that all signing parties withhold any signatures, until all parties are in the presence and witness of a notary public.
