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

Notarization involves a notary public verifying the identities of the signatories and witnessing the signing of a document. While notarization can add a level of authenticity to a contract, it is not a requirement under the Statute of Frauds for the contract to be enforceable. Therefore, notarization does not fulfill the written requirement necessary for enforcement.

Recording a contract refers to the process of filing it with a government office, such as a county clerk, to provide public notice of the agreement. While some contracts may benefit from being recorded, this step is not mandated by the Statute of Frauds. The essential requirement is that the contract must be in writing, regardless of whether it is recorded.

Confirmation of a contract typically means that the parties acknowledge or agree to the terms of the contract, often in writing or verbally. However, the Statute of Frauds does not stipulate that a contract must be confirmed; it simply requires that the contract be in writing to be enforceable. Thus, confirmation is not a necessary condition under this statute.
