Chapter 8

Form 8-23

The report of sale for real or personal property will vary only slightly depending on the method of sale. In most cases real property will be sold through a title company, which will provide detailed closing papers and reports. Personal property will usually be sold at garage sales or through auctions. Auctions will usually have some sales records, which should be identified and attached. If the sale is by a less structured method, such as a garage sale, then a simple record should be made, identifying the item, purchaser, and price, and should be attached to the report.
