Not necessarily. The party that did sign it can be held to the contract, but only if the other party is relying on that and performed their part of the agreement. And depending upon the course of dealing and what has occurred between the two parties, there may be other reasons to hold that the contract is valid, even if neither of the parties signed it.
That depends on what you did sign. If you signed your name to some sort of an agreement that didn't require the signature of the other party then it would be enforceable, i.e., that you will mow the lawn every week and keep the premises clean as part of your monthly rent. If you are referring to something such as a purchase and sale agreement then both parties must sign.
If both parties are in agreement to the terms. Otherwise any written contract, signed by both parties, must be kept.
It can be held to be valid. If the parties are acting as if both parties have signed it, it will be enforced.
If the parties haven't executed a contract signed by both parties then you are not "under contract".
There are two meanings for a fully executed contract: 1.) When signed by both parties. 2.) When the contract has been fully performed by both parties.
A contract signed by both both parties is enforceable and cannot be withdrawn from except as provided for in the contract itself.
onl yif it has not been signed by both parties
Only if both parties agree to dissolve the contract or the contract was an illegal contract or it was signed under duress.
A signed contract is a key piece of evidence. It shows that both parties agreed to specific language. Without it, the evidence of the contract and its terms has to be inferred from the actions of the parties.
It is not necessary to have both signatures. It certainly helps if there is a legal issue. If the other party signed it, you will likely be able to hold them to it. Oral contracts can be valid as well. The difference would be dealing with real property (land).
Absolutely not. A promissory note cannot be altered by either party after it has been signed, unless both parties agree to the changes in writing and signed by both parties.Absolutely not.

If one party is no longer interested in fulfilling their obligations under a signed contract, the other party may have grounds to sue for breach of contract. The party seeking legal action should consult with a lawyer to understand their rights and options.
Generally not. A signed contract is generally binding and requires both parties agree to terminate the contract and create a new one.
