Something you wont need to worry about if you focus on how to do this right rather than on those 21 ways to get it wrong.

I believe every state is different as to which Contracts have to be reduced to writing but, every state requires at least one form of Contract which does...I'm not 100% sure.

In NC & SC, the sale of anything over $500 has to be in writing based on this Statute. I don't know about your state though...

The statute of frauds refers to the requirement that certain kinds of contracts be memorialized in a writing, signed by the party to be charged, with sufficient content to evidence the contract. Wikipedia

I'd go with Roy Kelley & his JD. I really like Mary Yonkers' answer but not sure she has the JD to go with the response. Follow Alan May's advice in the future...for yourself and everyone in ActiveRain.
