Deed of Absolute Sale of Motor Vehicle
The document updates as you type
Lawyer's note. The deed must be notarized for the LTO to process transfer of ownership. Verify the OR/CR details against the seller's documents and the vehicle's engine and chassis numbers before signing; the buyer should transfer registration promptly.
How to use this document correctly
- Prepare at least three notarized copies: buyer, seller, and LTO.
- Check for alarms/encumbrances (e.g., mortgage annotated on the CR) and require the seller's valid ID matching the CR name.
Frequently asked questions
Who pays for notarization and transfer?
By practice it is negotiable; commonly the buyer shoulders transfer costs and the seller the notarization — put your agreement in the deed or a side note.
Is an open deed of sale safe?
It is risky for both sides: the seller stays liable for violations, the buyer's ownership is not perfected. Complete the transfer instead.
