Oral contracts can be enforced in Arizona. But the contract cannot violate the statute of frauds which requires certain contracts to be in writing.
As a rule of thumb, oral contracts are worth the paper they're written on. So, typically, not at all. Written contracts take precedent over oral agreements. If however all contracted parties agree and the agreement is witnessed, it can be binding.
Oral contracts are by definition, contracts that are verbal, not written. Therefore, the terms or even existence of these contracts are often somewhat harder to prove in court. If you were to decide to sue the other party for breach of an oral contract, you would be required to show that the oral contract exists.
Contracts are official documentation. Some agreements are made with oral promises and/or handshakes.
Oral contracts are both legal and binding. Its proving them that is rough.Another view: (in the US) I highly doubt that the above statement is true. An old rule of thumb is that a verbal contract is worth the paper it is written on.

In general, contracts do not need to be signed to be valid, but a written contract is typically required for certain types of agreements like real estate transactions or contracts lasting longer than one year. Oral contracts can be legally binding as long as all other elements of a contract are present. However, having a signed, written contract helps provide clarity and evidence of the agreement reached by the parties involved.
This is generally not a good idea regardless. For legal purposes and any problems that might arise, "oral" contracts, "credit notes", etc are not always binding and it's best to have written documentation of all transactions.
A verbal agreement is legally binding in California under certain circumstances. If the agreement is for something that will take longer than a year to perform or involves real property, verbal agreements are not binding and must be put in writing in order to be legally enforceable.
Yes, all contracts are agreements, because a contract is a legally binding relationship that exists between two or more parties to do or abstain from performing certain acts. An agreement is a form of cross-reference between parties which may be written or oral, and lies upon the honor of the parties for its fulfillment, rather than being in any way enforceable.
Yes, both verbal and written agreements can be enforced by law. Verbal agreements are, however, difficult to prove without other evidence. Otherwise anyone could say that another person verbally agreed to something, even if they hadn't. In addition, most states require some written documentation regarding the exchange of land. If there is no writing, the agreement for the sale or exchange of land will not be enforcable.
A witness is not required, but it sure does help! The oral agreement can be inferred from the actions of the parties as well.
