Legal Question in Business Law in District of Columbia

A contract was drawn up and signed by two parties. There was no dates listed in the actual body of the contract and only one party added a date in handwriting next to his signature, the only signed with no date. Also, the date was included by the other party was at a date exactly one month ahead (I don't know if it was intentional or in error). If the other party gets the contract notirized with today's date, and the date that was signed by the other party is in two weeks in the future, is this a grounds to get out of the contract by arguing that it was signed on a future date and is therefore invalid?

Probably not. Once both parties signed, there was likely a meeting of the minds. To be sure, you would need to have a DC attorney review the contract and advise you of your options. Please let me know if I can be of assistance.
