Need help with legal question about a purchased goat... UPDATE...

[WhiteMountainsRanch]

Call the ADGA, they may insist you use one of their "Bill of Sale" forms....

I know it doesn't seeeem like it would matter, but I've never dealt w/ a pickier organization in my life. I like that they make sure things are done correctly, but sometimes it's like jumping through hoops.

Sure hope he sends it back. Good luck.

I have been chatting with a lady there, (actually spoken with three different ladies) and they just said to get his signature, she didn't say anything about a Bill of Sale form specially from them... I'll look into it.

Ok I went right to the ADGA website and typed in Bill of Sale, this is the first Q&A that pops up:

If I purchased an unregistered animal and number 12 is not filled out how can I get it transferred?
You can include a bill of sale, with the date of sale and the sellers signature.

I'll just print it off ADGA and include it in the letter anyway.

Rolls is right about having to use their bill of sale sheet in order for it to be valid. They can be funny about that stuff and I think sometimes they have been working in the biz for so long, they kind of forget and assume everyone knows and gets their procedure-they are really nice people though, don't get me wrong. Hope it goes well and please let us know

I wish you well in your endeavor to get your papers. Keep in mind, there is no law or obligation for a person to accept or pick up a certified letter. If they don't it will be returned to you. The person also has the right to ask who sent the letter before accepting it.

Yes very true, but you never know until you try! If he refuses it and sends it back at least then I'll know!

Lady at the post office said they will deliver it and get a signature right to his door, there are three possibilities:

1. He's home and accepts the letter and signs for it.

2. He's home and refuses the letter, in which case they will send it right back ~ will have it back within a week.

3. He's not home and then they will take it back to the post office and send him notices telling him to pick it up, in which case he will either go get it or not, in which case it could take me a month to get it back.

I'll check the tracking number tomorrow to see what it says.

Hoping he just accepts it and signs the paper and sends it back to me.

I am anxious for you. So hoping he will sign and send you back papers and you can get some satisfaction after all of this.
