Technically yes for many things, but only if can be proven to have existed in the first place. There are specific agreements that must be in writing, such as agreements to purchase or sell land, or items for longer than a year.

Can failing to fulfill a verbal condition to a written contract render it null and void?

In Kentucky is a verbal agreement legally binding?

A properly written contract, signed by both parties, is tangible evidence of an agreement that is indisputably "legally binding".Generally, the problem with verbal agreements is that there is no evidence they exist. There is only a "he said, and he said" situation. In order to bind the other party to a verbal agreement, the moving party would need to bring an action in a court of equity and provide the judge with enough outside evidence that there was a verbal contract between the parties and the other party has breached it. Without compelling outside evidence such as witnesses, the judge cannot find that any contract existed between the parties.

What is a legally binding contract?

The real deal is that a verbal contract already islegally binding. Assuming that both parties later on tell the truth about what was said.I suppose if you wanted to add a more solidly "legally binding" aspect to it, you'd have that verbal contract witnessed by some impeccably impartial third party. Unrelated to either party by blood, marriage, friendship or financial ties, and of a profession known for integrity, such as a priest or judge.But frankly, for all the trouble that would be, one might just as well type the agreement, and both sign in front of a notary public, with each walking away with an original.
