Re: contract signed by a minor
Generally, an unemancipated minor is not competent to enter
into a contract, and can disown the contract (through a parent or guardian). But this may not
fully answer what would happen if the minor received most or all of the benefits
of the contract, and simply wishes after that to disown the obligation.
