  We provide upper and lower bounds on the form factors for B -> D, D^* by
utilizing inclusive heavy quark effective theory sum rules. These bounds are
calculated to leading order in Lambda_QCD/m_Q and alpha_s. The O(alpha_s^2
beta_0) corrections to the bounds at zero recoil are also presented. We compare
our bounds with some of the form factor models used in the literature. All the
models we investigated failed to fall within the bounds for the combination of
form factors (omega^2 - 1)/(4 omega)|omega h_{A2}+h_{A3}|^2.
