Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Re: Verbal agreement contracts - California

The statute of frauds is a body of law that generally speaks to when a contract must be in writing to be enforceable, and it specifies service contracts that cannot be performed within a year, interests in real property, goods of $500 or more, etc. There are also specific statutes that apply depending on the nature of the case. From your description I cannot tell whether you are talking about a real property lease agreement and a real property interest, or personal property. proof is another challenge, and finally the time to act on a oral agreement is 2 years, but even though an agreement is mainly specified as to its terms orally, it still may be founded on a written instrument. Contact my office if you want help.
