Can a minor in the state of massachusetts enter a binding contract?
The law of contract provides the class of people who can enter into a contract and further those who are not competent to enter into a contract. Amongst the ones who cannot contract are the lunatics, minors and the persons who are serving a sentence. The law permits minors to enter into binding contracts through their guardians. However the contracts entered on their behalf are voidable contracts and can be revoked by them on attaining the age of majority largely on the ground of fraud and misrepresentation.
