🚨 When Oral Agreements Don’t Work!

Not all contracts can be oral. Certain agreements MUST be in writing to be enforceable, such as:
❌ Real estate agreements 🏠
❌ Marriage contracts 💍
❌ Guarantees & indemnities 🔏
❌ Government contracts 🏛️

Without written proof, proving an oral contract in court can be tricky! 📜 Courts rely on:
🔹 Witness testimonies 👀
🔹 Past transactions 📑
🔹 Recorded communications 📞

✔️ Record Conversations (if possible) 🎙️
✔️ Have Witnesses 👀
✔️ Maintain Transaction Records 📄

A small written document can save you from big legal trouble later! 😅
