OK - in continuing our discussions about how to void a contract when you are a co-signer on a contract, there are two more possibilities:
1. The contract is illegal. If the contract is illegal, then the contract is void and unenforceable. This does not occur very often in the United States, but it still does happen.
2. The contract itself is void because of public policy. An example of this are certain attorneys' contracts in which an attorney will obtain a portion of the client's settlement in family law cases. In Texas, these contingency agreements are used in many situations with no problem, but Texas does not permit an attorney to sign a contingency agreement in a family law matter.
We will wrap up this discussion in the next two posts.
