Trystan and Nia enter into a contract for the sale of a tiny house. Trystan is 17. Closing is supposed to occur in two weeks. This contract is:

Aexecuted and voidable

Bexecutory and void

Cexecutory and voidable

Dexecuted and void

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

A contract is executory when its terms have not yet been fully performed (here, closing has not yet occurred).

Because Trystan is 17 years old, he is a minor under Virginia law (legal capacity begins at 18). A minor's contract is generally voidable at the option of the minor, but enforceable against the adult party.

Therefore, this contract is executory (not yet performed) and voidable (due to Trystan's age).

Code of Virginia 1-204 (Age of majority = 18)

I think this might be about minors and contracts. If Trystan is 17, isn't the contract voidable?
