ContractsQuestion 63 of 120
A contract signed by a minor is generally considered:
a.Automatically void from the start in all cases
b.Fully enforceable against the minor
c.Voidable at the option of the minor
d.A criminal offense
Explanation
Contracts entered into by minors are generally voidable at the minor's option, meaning the minor may disaffirm the contract. This protects those who lack full legal capacity. A void contract, by contrast, has no legal effect from the beginning.
