FAQ

Capacity by all parties: Each party must understand what they're doing. If someone is a minor or does not have the mental capacity, there may not be an enforceable contract. Legal purpose: The purpose of the agreement must not break the law.

Minors are able to sign contracts for themselves in most cases. In other situations, parents or guardians can sign for them or cosign with them, which does make them legally binding.

As an example, a contract with a minor is voidable at the discretion of the minor on grounds of his age. But it is still binding on the party on the other side should the minor so decide.

The law recognizes a minor as lacking the capacity to contract. Therefore, contracts with a minor are voidable. This, however, does not apply to the circumstances where minors are legally allowed to get into a contract and be fully obliged to the terms and conditions. Examples of such circumstances include necessities.

In many cases, minors can't be held to the terms of a contract until they reach the age of majority. In other words, a minor has the right to opt out of a contract, even if the other party is an adult and is bound by the terms.

All parties to a contract must have the legal ability to do so for the agreement to be valid. Minors (who, in Florida and many other jurisdictions, are under the age of 18) are deemed to lack the mental capacity required to enter into binding agreements under the law.

A person can file a quitclaim deed by (1) entering the relevant information on a quitclaim deed form, (2) signing the deed with two witnesses and a notary, and (3) recording the deed at the county comptroller's office. In Florida, quitclaim deeds must have the name and address of both the grantor and the grantee.

Only a properly executed and recorded deed gives you title to a property in Florida, but not all deeds do this in the same way. A Quitclaim Deed is a very particular type of deed that should only be used with the expertise and advice of an attorney.
