Question

Ronald suffers from dementia that impacts his brain function, but he also has healthy periods of time when his mind is fully functioning. During one of these healthy periods, Ronald enters into a contract, which he later seeks to avoid. In a majority of states, the contract will not be enforced because of Ronald's dementia.
(a)- True
(b)- False

Answer 1

Answer:

FALSE

Explanation:

Dementia can be described as a collective term for a number of diseases in which a person loses his/her memory, is unable to perform everyday tasks etc. Problems with short term memory are the first of symptoms to be seen in the case of dementia.

In the above scenario, Ronald has signed the contract when he was in a healthy period. So, the contract would be legal and enforced because a healthy person had signed it.
