Best Answer

In general, contracts do not need to be signed to be valid, but a written contract is typically required for certain types of agreements like real estate transactions or contracts lasting longer than one year. Oral contracts can be legally binding as long as all other elements of a contract are present. However, having a signed, written contract helps provide clarity and evidence of the agreement reached by the parties involved.

Features of a valid contract?

A contract must have a promise or obligation from one party in exchange for a promise or obligation from another party. There is no requirements that contracts be signed, witnessed, or even written to be enforceable. Oral contracts as well as contracts written on napkins in bars have been enforced by courts. A contract only requires that both parties are doing something in exchange for whatever the other party is doing.
