Hi Steve

The title does not have to be notorized, but I recommend the bill of sale to be, here is a link that may give you further input   http://www.flhsmv.gov/dmv/buying_selling.html  

To safeguard the transaction, if it's possible go with seller to the DMV and upon transfer submit your certified funds.

I assume you did a history report along with a lien check.
