California has some unique contract regulations that can allow you to contest even verbal contracts in a court of law. However, if you really want evidence on your side, a professionally drafted and signed contract is going to provide you with a leg to stand on for getting the compensation you deserve.
Additionally, there are some cases where California will not accept a case unless there is a contract. Here is a sampling of the situations that will require you to have a written agreement in place if you want to take someone to court for breach of contract.
- When someone is a cosigner
- If you are selling land
- When your lease agreement extends for more than 12 months
- If services are being sold now but will not be performed in the next 12 months
- For loans when the total amount is over $100,000
These are just a few examples that show a business agreement needs to be in writing.
Plus, contracts and agreements create a deterrent factor. No one wants to be sued for breach of contract. They are much more likely to stick to the agreement if they know they signed a written agreement.
