Arizona Real Estate Contracts and the Statute of Frauds
General principles of Arizona contract law simply require the existence of an offer, acceptance, consideration, and sufficient specificity of the terms in order to have an enforceable contract. This is true whether or not the parties write out the terms and/or sign a written document. This is not the case when the contract concerns the sale of real property.

Executing a Power of Attorney to Help Prevent Foreclosure
One of the most serious decisions homeowners facing foreclosure may be asked to make is to sign over the deed to their home. Transferring ownership of the property diminishes their ability to keep control over the house, and may just reward a scammer with an easy target. Just as serious and potentially dangerous, though, is the decision to sign over a power of attorney to a third party to represent the homeowners.
