Contracts
A Nebraska real estate purchase agreement is enforceable against a party who signed under undue influence because:
AAll signed contracts are enforceable regardless of circumstances
BIt is voidable — the coerced party may choose to rescind or affirm the contract✓ Correct
CUndue influence has no legal effect in Nebraska real estate law
DOnly fraud, not undue influence, can void a contract
Explanation
Undue influence (improper pressure overcoming a party's free will) makes a contract voidable — the affected party can choose to rescind or affirm it. This differs from void contracts, which have no legal effect from the start.
