  • Is a hand written contract for sale of land legal and binding?

    Hello.

    A couple of years ago my in-laws needed money for medical bills. They agreed to sell us property for $15,000. They wrote a hand written contract with details such as address of property, price we paid, the date and their signatures. It was agreed they would not be living there except for a few weeks in the summer. And that the property would be signed over to use at a later date.



    From the time the money was paid they have not left the property and it's been several years. For my birthday present they signed over .25 acres to our names. We purchased 1.68. They are now saying they are not going to sign it over. With their reluctance to do so, we asked that they just split it, but they are still saying no.



    Is there anything we can do? They think the contract was no legal and binding. But they did spend our $15,000.00.
