Capacity to contract means a party has the legal ability to enter into a contract. Capacity also means a person has to be competent as defined by law. Someone's capacity is determined by whether or not they have reached the age of majority and if they are mentally capable of understanding the applicable contract terms.
For a contract to be legally binding, the parties entering into the contract must have the capacity to do so. As a legal matter, there are certain classes of people who are presumed to have no capacity to contract. These include legal minors, the mentally ill, and those who are intoxicated.
A person who lacks mental capacity can void, or have a guardian void, most contracts (except contracts for necessities). As with contracts with minors, the contract is voidable, and not automatically void.
