Is a verbal agreement legally binding in Virginia?
That depends.
First, the agreement must be a contract, which means there must be an offer, an acceptance, consideration (value exchanged) and a lawful purpose. The exact definition of each of those terms depends on state law.
Second, some contracts can only be enforced in court if they have been signed. For example, contracts that cannot be performed in one year, or for an interest in land must be signed. Each state has slightly different rules on which contracts must be signed. Those rules are known, collectively, as the Statute of Frauds.
However, even if you have a valid oral contract that doesn't violate the statute of frauds, you may have a difficult time proving it without some sort of documentary evidence such as witnesses to contract.
In conclusion its best to get everything signed and in writing.
