"You have an agreement, and you want to know how to write a contract. Hi, I'm Robert Todd, and I'm here to answer, How to write a contract? Well, I recommend generally, if the agreement is worth anything, or has value, you should probably consider hiring an attorney. If not to write the contract itself, to at least review what it is you write, but if you decide that you want to write it yourself, at the very least, make sure it's in writing, that is dated. That it specifies who the parties are, to this agreement, what the parties agreed to do, what each party is giving to the other party, for that agreement, and basically, what time frame is this agreement to take place in? If you cover all of these elements, then you should have a valid contract. I'm Robert Todd, and thank you for watching."
