Sargent orally agreed to purchase a piece of land from Babson. To confirm the agreement, Sargent wrote a letter to Babson that contained all the terms of the transaction and was signed by Sargent. When Babson refused to sell, Sargent sued for breach of contract, claiming that the sale was in writing. Is Sargent correct?
No. A contract for the sale of real property must be in writing and must be signed by the party being held responsible. In this case, Babson did not sign the letter that Sargent prepared as evidence of the sale.
