How can a minor void a contract?
<p>What are the requirements for a minor to void a voidable contract? Just contact the other party and say &quot;our contract is void,&quot; and stop receiving benefits and fulfilling obligations?</p>

<p>To void a voidable contract, a minor must:</p>
<ol>
<li>Notify the other party that the minor is voiding the contract, and that this is because of minority. It may not be strictly required, but it is surely better practice to do this in writing and by some method that preserves a copy of the notice, and/or evidence of delivery, such as email or certified mail or (ideally) both.</li>
<li>Return or restore all benefits already received under the contract, leaving the other party in the same position as before the contract was agreed to.</li>
<li>Cease to receive or accept any future benefits under the contract.</li>
</ol>
<p>If step 2 cannot be performed, because things received under the contract have already been disposed of or consumed, say, then the contract cannot be voided.</p>
