California has a PDF form for each.

http://dmv.ca.gov/forms/formsreg_alpha.htm

Form REG 135 Bill of Sale

Form REG 138 Notice of Transfer and Release of Liability

In California, the two forms protect the seller.

First if the buyer gets into an accident and the seller hasn't filed the forms, the car will show up as belonging to the seller and they can be held liable for damages, claims etc.

Second if the buyer does not register the car, and the seller doesn't file the forms, the seller is still on the hook for DMV fees and any traffic or parking tickets.

In California if you do not pay your tickets, they are deducted from your tax refund plus penalties.

Good Luck!
