    There is also the normal common law issues that a contract is not enforceable for anyone signing under the age of 18.

    Interesting. The way around this, of course, would be to transfer title to an adult, in trust for the minor.

    Enforceable against a minor. Thus the minor were sued under the contract he could raise minority as a defense. But a contract is enforceable if the other party wants to rescind.
