Verbal Agreement pertaining to selling a car.

Verbal contracts will hold up ... the only problem is proving your case. It's your word against hers, and how do you prove she agreed to pay X dollars?

Do you have any witnesses that heard her agree to that amount?

yes, someone was present, her husband and my friend.

You could call him in as a witness. He is compelled to tell the truth, and if he lies in court then he could be held in contempt/perjury.

However I'm not sure what you have to do to get a subpoena issued in order to call him in. That might take the help of an attorney.

Verbal agreements are definately binding and will hold up in court providing you can prove your case to the judges satisfaction. If you explain the reason you went ahead and signed the title over it's possible for you to win your case. You would for sure need to get your friend to be there to testify on your behalf.


Hope this helps some,

If you can get a witness to the agreement you can win this. You need to take a deposition from anyone who was there and be sure you have a witness to the deposition so they can't claim duress later. Getting them to go as a witness would be godd but with a deposition you may be able to settle this without a trial.
