A verbal agreement can still be enforceable under a variety of circumstances. There may be a proof problem, but if your aunt can prove the agreement you will probably owe her according to that agreement (in the same way you should be able to hold her to the agreement).
You should consult an attorney for a more detailed analysis of your situation.
Good Luck!
