Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Texas

Legal Age

What is the legal age to sign for a legal binding contract or for a credit card?

My mother signed my son's signature to a credit card application when

he was only seventeen. She recently passed away, that is when he found out

he owed for this credit card. He made one payment after she deceased,

now the credit card company says he cannot file forgery. (since he made one payment)

The credit card company says he is responsible for this large debt.

The collection agency is trying to collect the debt on the basis that he acknowledged the debt. I don't think that is the right test. Call me if you wish legal representation on this problem. 1-877-320-5232
