Contracts
Which of the following makes a real estate contract void in Nevada?
AOne party is 17 years old
BThe contract has an illegal purpose✓ Correct
CThe seller did not disclose a minor cosmetic defect
DThe buyer is represented by a broker who also represents the seller
Explanation
A contract with an illegal purpose (e.g., a contract to sell property for an illegal use) is void — it has no legal effect from the beginning. A minor's contract is voidable (not void), and dual agency affects the quality of representation, not the contract's validity.
