New Jersey Life Producer Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

What type of individuals must be involved in a valid contract?

Individuals with legal capacity

For a contract to be considered valid, it is essential that the parties involved have legal capacity. Legal capacity refers to the ability of individuals to enter into a binding agreement, which typically requires that they are of a certain age (usually 18 years or older) and possess the mental competence to understand the nature and consequences of the contract.

Individuals with criminal records can still enter into contracts unless their legal rights have been restricted due to their criminal status. Likewise, minors (individuals under 18) generally do not have the capacity to enter into contracts unless certain exceptions are met, and nationality does not impact an individual's ability to enter into a contract as long as they have legal capacity. Therefore, the most crucial factor in determining the validity of a contract is the legal capacity of the individuals involved.
