sparklything | Is it ever OK to back date a contract when you sign it? |
I started working on a project before a contract was signed. Now that I have it, do I date it when I started the contract or today's date? |

The responses thus far have not answered your direct question: "Now that I have [the contract], do I date it when I started the contract or today's date?"
The _best_ alternative is to make sure that the contract contains a separate provision that clearly sets forth the effective date. For example, "This contract is effective on July 1, 2007. . . . Dated: August 30, 2007."
The next best alternative (if you insert the "effective date provision" for example) is to put both dates at the "dated" line. That is, on the "dated" line, write "as of 7/1/07, signed 8/30/07".
Never pre-date any legal document without clarifying the fact. This can cause many problems, such as issues relating to the Statute of Frauds, the applicable statute of limitations, etc.
As a side note: the other responses hint at (but do not state explicitly) the problem with back-dating (i.e. putting an earlier date, without the "as of" clarification). The problem is that it leaves the contract open to attack on one of two possible grounds: (a) either or both parties made a "mistake" (i.e. the earlier date was written by accident), which may make the contract voidable (depending on other factors), or (b) either or both parties committed fraud (i.e. they knowingly wrote the earlier date with the intention to mislead someone), which may may the contract voidable. The conclusion: don't try to "mislead" anyone: state clearly what is happening: "I am signing the today, 8/30/07, but it is effective as of 7/1/07".
Hope this helps. |

it depends on what kind of commitment u make. |

If both parties agree to the backdating, it should be fine. I do this all the time with my vendors. |

It's perfectly legitimate to date a contract "as of" the date you started the project. It's done all the time.
EDIT: Burghgirl is correct: Jean is not. If there is mutual agreement that the terms of the contract will govern as of a date certain (past or future), then no court will substitute its judgment for that of the parties. If the contract explicitly states that it is dated "as of this 30th day of July, 2007" (or whenever), then that is the effective date (often a defined term: the "Effective Date") of the contract, regardless of when it is physically, manually signed--in California and anywhere else. |

Sorry. In California, and I suspect in most states, the date you sign the contract is the date you should put on the contract. Most say, dated next to the signature. That is the day that is legal. If you want the contract to be questionable in court, post or pre date it, but don't expect great things in court if it is challenged. |
