I worked for lawyers that did a lot of contract law. It can vary from state to state (in the U.S.) but the state I worked in a verbal agreement -- not even written down -- is legally binding. Proving a non-written agreement can be hard in court but that is a different issue.
- ajdlinux 7y agoNot disagreeing - I didn't say a verbal agreement isn't binding. What I'm saying is that a verbal agreement is binding if there's an intention to create binding relations, and not binding if there is not that intention.
