Example: Contracts of the Mentally Incompetent
{"Image DocumentName": "Example: Contracts of the Mentally Incompetent", "Image ImageDescription": "Facts: Trudy suffered from a mental condition that was medically declared insanity. Trudy hired Julio to build a sundeck for her house. However, a week before the construction was complete, she died in a car accident. When Julio approached her son to collect the amount due to him for the construction, the son refused to pay the bill, claiming that Trudy was mentally incompetent when she hired Julio. Since a contract with a person who has been declared insane by the courts is void, even if the party who contracted with the incompetent individual was unaware, Julio cannot avail any remedy because the contract itself is void. Learning Outcome 11-4: Assess the legal status of contacts made by persons who are incompetent.
