Sam is Jerry's nephew and has lived with Jerry (who is very elderly) for the last 4 years. Jerry helps clean the house and buys groceries. During this time, Jerry signs a contract giving Sam a salary of $10,000 per week for "taking care of him and his house." If this contract were to be contested, what is the most likely avenue under these facts:?

Answer:

There is a signed contact between Jerry and and Sam, which is legally binding on both parties. The contract must be honored, and can only be contested in a court of law, where there is a breach in contract.

Step-by-step explanation:

There is an offer and acceptance by both Jerry and Sam. The offer is the 10,000 dollars and the acceptance is the service, which Sam is providing by ''taking care of him (Jerry) and his house''.
