Maggie signed a contract to sell her house. Her children claim their mother, Maggie, has dementia and is not in her right mind. The children claim the contract their mother signed has no legal effect given her mental condition. Assuming Maggie has not been ruled by a judge to be mentally incompetent, what kind of contract does Maggie have with the buyer of her house?
The contract may be voidable but it cannot be valid.
The contract is without question, void if her family believes Maggie was incompetent when she made the agreement.
The contract is presumed to be valid unless otherwise proven. If a judge were to believe Maggie was competent when she made the agreement the agreement is valid. If a judge believes Maggie was not competent when she made the agreement, the contract is not legally binding.
