10.1. Was there a contract between the Mesaros and the United States?
Answer: Yes. There was a contract between Mesaros and the United States. Above on the customers signature form it stated, “Yes, please accept my order for the U.S. Liberty Coins I have indicated.” This made it a contract between Mesaros and the United States.
10.2. Did a contract to convey real property exist between Heikkila’ and McLaughlin?
Answer: No. A contract to convey real property did not exist between Heikkila and McLaughlin. David McLaughlin submitted written offers to purchase three of the parcels. If Heikkila had written and submitted the three parcels also stating the amount she was going to sell them at, then she would be in the wrong. But, in this circumstance, that wasn’t the case.
10.3. Was Presley promise to pay the mortgage enforceable?

10.4. Was there consideration supporting Tallas’s promise to Dementas?
Answer: Yes. There was evidence supporting Tallas’s promise to Dementas. Tallas indicated in the memorandum that he would change his will to make Dementas as an heir for the amount he owed him. Tallas signed the document before he passed away 7 weeks later making the agreement stated in the document enforceable.

    John Carmichael should be allowed to purchase the Rocking M Ranch (ranch). Although the Statute of Frauds (Tex. Bus. & Com. Code Ann. § 26.01 (West 2005)) makes oral contracts for the sale of land unenforceable, an common law exception is carved out for sales in which buyers pay consideration, make improvements, and demonstrate possession of the land. Hooks v. Bridgewater, 111 Tex. 122 (1921). The policy behind the statute itself is to prevent people from fraudulently claiming someone else’s property, but the exception is present in order to protect parties who reasonably believe that an oral sale of land was executed. Carmichael paid consideration and made improvements to the ranch, so only possession is at issue here.…
