The Statute of Frauds is a legal principle that requires certain types of contracts to be in writing to be enforceable. Typically, it applies to agreements involving the sale of real estate, contracts that cannot be performed within one year, and agreements to pay someone else's debt, among others. The purpose of the Statute of Frauds is to prevent fraud and misunderstandings by ensuring there is clear documentation of essential contract terms. Each jurisdiction may have specific requirements regarding which contracts must adhere to this statute.
