Would it be to one's benefit to privately CONTRACT into a sale of agreement to purchase a parcel of land?

If one purchased this land with fiat currency by the person one has in her pocket, that land will be Government's INVENTORY.

I am aware there are ways to make this piece of land UNTOUCHABLE, and have full control over it. I know this is through someone I TRUST, but that is all.

If I have a contract to buy a thing but only get it part paid for and then run out of money, do I have a security interest in the thing that I could lien?

Admiral Scott. What would a VALID bill of sale require?

I am about to acquire some land property, and I know a bill of sale is something I want to get my hands on. So I drafted one already, as a courtesy, to the seller.

I have been doing research. A bill of sale is something very simple. Is basically an instrument that transfers title to personal property from a seller, to a buyer.

It most contain the names of the seller, and buyer, with a date, description of the property, and a value received.

My question again is, what would make a bill of sale VALID, if anything, besides what I know? 3 witnesses? A notary?

In the law of contracts, a written agreement, previously required to be under seal, by which one person transfers to another a right to, or interest in, Personal Property and goods, a legal instrument that conveys title in property from seller to purchaser.

:/ ... a "MAN" transfer to another ?

BILL OF SALE, Contracts. An agreement in writing, under seal, by which a man transfers the right or interest he has in goods and chattels, to another. As the law imports a consideration when an agreement is made by deed, a bill of sale alters the property. Yelv. 196; Cro. Jac. 270 6 Co. 18.

Thanks, Captain Pete!

I guess I am still left with the questions: Is there is such thing as a VALID bill of sale? If there is, then SOMETHING must make it VALID. And if there is such thing as a VALID bill of sale, then there could be an INVALID bill of sale, which, if there is such a thing, I want to avoid.

I must assume that a SEAL is what makes it VALID.

Interesting you post this Pete, as the Birth Certificate is "under seal"
