The transition form factors of B{sub (s)}{yields}S, with S denoting a scalar meson, are investigated in the light-cone sum rules approach. The numerical values are approximately twice the number estimated in the light-front quark model and QCD sum rules approach. Using these form factors, we present the analysis of the decay rates for B{yields}a{sub 0}(1450)l{nu}{sub l}, B{yields}K{sub 0}*(1430)ll, B{sub s}{yields}K{sub 0}*(1430)l{nu}{sub l}, and B{sub s}{yields}f{sub 0}(1500)ll with l=e, {mu}, {tau}. The results indicate that magnitudes of BR(B{sub 0}{yields}a{sub 0}(1450)l{nu}{sub l}) and BR(B{sub s}{yields}K{sub 0}*(1430)l{nu}{sub l}) arrive at the order of 10{sup -4}, which can be measured in future experiments to clarify the inner structure of scalar mesons. It is also observed that BR(B{yields}K{sub 0}*(1430){tau}{sup +}{tau}{sup -}) and BR(B{sub s}{yields}f{sub 0}(1500){tau}{sup +}{tau}{sup -}) are an order of magnitude smaller than the corresponding channels of e{sup +}e{sup -} and {mu}{sup +}{mu}{sup -} final states due to the heavily suppressed phase space. Moreover, the longitudinal lepton polarization asymmetry for B{yields}K{sub 0}*(1430)ll and B{sub s}{yields}f{sub 0}(1500)ll are also investigated, whose values are close to -1 for the e{sup +}e{sup -} and {mu}{sup +}{mu}{sup -} pair except for the region close to the endpoints.
