Legal age to sign a legally binding contract Consumer Law, Warranties

No, You must be 18 in order to sign into a legally binding contract-- If the ocntract was signed by a minor the contract is void

 

As a general rule, a person must be at least 18 years of age to be capacitated to sign contracts. As already said, the same is void but the minor - you, in this case - has the option to enforce the contract. When you do, the other party whom you contract with and have knowledge that you are a minor cannot raise as a defense that you were incapacipated to enter into contract with him.

No, the contract does not magically become legal, or valid, when you turn 18. Void contract cannot be ratified. Meaning, it cannot be rendered automatically valid upon cessation of the ground which makes it void, in this case, you reaching the majority age.

No. In that case, the contract could be void for illegality or on grounds of public policy.

Besides which, you're a minor. As mentioned above, the contract is void as against you (although you may have the option to enforce it).

And further besides which, if you made him jump, you may have thereby killed him, fulfilling your end of the bargain, and would not have to kill anyone else.
