A contract is legally binding. It is formed when there is an offer, an acceptance, and, importantly, consideration by both parties. Without consideration, there is no enforceable contract in Florida.

Both parties have a “cooling off” period after agreeing to a contract where they are allowed to give notice of cancellation. The 3-day contract law Florida follows allows for 72 hours to cancel a contract under most circumstances. There are certain exceptions to this rule – such as the sale of a vehicle.
A Forbearance Agreement can be a versatile tool after a default has occurred. In a Forbearance Agreement, the Lender specifically preserves the Borrower's default, but agrees to forbear on collection for a specified period in exchange for certain accommodations from the Borrower.
For example, forbearance can be helpful if your home was damaged in a natural disaster, you had unexpected medical costs, or you lost your job. Forbearance does not erase or decrease the amount you owe on your mortgage. You have to repay any missed or reduced payments.
Cons of Mortgage Forbearance Once the period is over, you're responsible for paying this amount. Potential for future financial strain. Forbearance can take some pressure off now, but homeowners whose financial situation doesn't improve by the time the forbearance period ends could find themselves even deeper in debt.
In Florida, a contract is established through a simple but vital process: offer, acceptance, and exchange of value (consideration). This means that a contract comes into existence when one party presents a clear offer, and the other party accepts it, coupled with an exchange of something of value.
