Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

Verbal Contract
I made an oral contract to sell my house to my Uncle.He was to give me a thousand dollors and move into the house and immediately start the process of getting a morgage in his name.He assured me he could have it done in 30 to 90 days.Untill he got the home in is name he was to pay my mortgage when it was due.For three years I have went round and round with him giving me one sad tell after the other why he could not get financing in his own name.I have twice had my mortgage company start to foreclose due to payments being up to three months late,in fact out of the three years only four payment were made on time.I told my Uncle to get out and served him with a thirty day written notice he calls two days before the thiry days are up and says he now has found financing and whats to set a closing date.I say no it is to late my credit is ruined and I am taking the house back.Now he has retained a Real Estate Lawyer and i have been served notice that they are suing me for the I guess the right to continue to buy the house and for moneys that he claims he has spent to improve the property.Can he win and does the law say he can do this.

Re: Verbal Contract

Contracts for the sale of real estate must be in writing to be enforceable. You should speak with an attorney immediately.
