The modern pace of life makes us take rash actions to save time. An example of such an act is the purchase or sale of a car by general power of attorney. In order for the seller and the buyer not to stumble on pitfalls, lawyers recommend drawing up an act of transfer-acceptance of the car when making a transaction.
Vehicle Acceptance Agreement
The act of transfer and acceptance of a car is a special type of document drawn up in writing, which requires confirmation of the fact of transfer of the vehicle to another person. Most often, such an agreement is drawn up between the client and the seller when transferring the vehicle to rental use or to a service center.
When the equipment is transferred to another person for temporary use (for example, within the organization), drawing up such an act is not necessary. In this case, a power of attorney for transport management will be sufficient.
Details of the act
The car transfer-acceptance certificate does not have a legally established form in Russia and can be written by hand on an ordinary A4 sheet. But for the contract to have a legal form, it is necessary to draw up the following details:
- document's name;
- the purpose of the preparation (number of the contract of sale-purchase of a car, its rental or transfer for maintenance);
- place and time of creation of the act;
- Name of participants, name of organizations;
- comprehensive description of the car;
- confirmation of the absence of mutual claims between the parties;
- signatures of participants.
When drawing up the act of transmission-reception of a car, special attention should be paid to a comprehensive description of the vehicle. Here you must specify the brand, color, engine and body number, release date, any malfunctions and defects, mileage. When making a sale, this document must be duplicated and available to each participant in the transaction.
Acceptance certificate when buying a car
The citizens of our country, both when buying or selling a car, draw up a general power of attorney in order to save time. Such an event may lead to various problems in the future for both the seller and the buyer. Therefore, lawyers are advised to confirm the contract of sale of the car. The act of receiving the transfer will help to do this.
When selling a car by general power of attorney, participants of the parties may experience various problems. Most often, troubles affect the buyer. So, your new vehicle may be seized by bailiffs, or the former owner himself will withdraw his power of attorney through notary authorities, and you will have to return your property without a mutual return of money.
In order to avoid such problems, draw up a car transfer and acceptance certificate, the form of which is presented below, when making a purchase or sale.
Problems may arise with the seller. For example, an obligation to pay taxes for a car. In another case, the fact of the sale of the car can be declared invalid by the court, because of which it will be necessary to return the money received from the transaction and get back your vehicle.
