Types of Writing to satisfy the Statute of Frauds

The video tutorial explains the statute of frauds, focusing on two main requirements: a sufficient writing and a valid signature. A sufficient writing can be handwritten, typed, or electronic, and must identify key terms of the agreement. A valid signature can be an actual signature, handwriting, or any identifiable characteristic like a login or code. These elements ensure that a contract is enforceable in court.
