Under the Statute of Frauds, before a court may enforce a contract it MUST be:

Notarization is not a requirement under the Statute of Frauds for a contract to be enforceable; rather, it is an optional step that may provide further verification of signatures. While notarized documents can lend credibility, the essential factor for enforceability is that the contract itself must be in writing.

Recording a contract typically refers to filing it with a governmental office, which is often necessary for certain transactions, such as real estate. However, this is not a prerequisite for the enforceability of all contracts under the Statute of Frauds. The critical requirement is that a written document exists, not that it is officially recorded.

Confirmation usually pertains to verifying the terms of a contract or agreement, often through communication between the parties. While confirmations may strengthen an agreement, they are not a stipulation of the Statute of Frauds. The enforceability hinges solely on the existence of a written document outlining the contract terms.
