Regarding the question of whether people over the age of 70 can sign contracts, it should be clarified that age is not the only factor determining whether a person can sign a contract. What is important is whether the person has full capacity for civil conduct.
In most legal systems, if a person over the age of seventy is not legally recognized as having no capacity for civil conduct or limited capacity for civil conduct, he/she has the right to sign a contract.
II
1. Persons with limited capacity for civil conduct refer to those who are legally recognized as having partial capacity for civil conduct. These people are usually unable to fully recognize their behavior and bear corresponding legal responsibilities due to age, intelligence, mental health status, and other reasons.
When signing a contract, individuals with limited legal capacity are required to comply with special regulations.
According to Article 22 of the Civil Code, a person with limited capacity for civil conduct shall be represented by their legal representative or with the consent or ratification of their legal representative when carrying out civil legal acts.
III
1. Full capacity for civil conduct refers to a person's ability to fully recognize their own actions and independently assume civil liability.
According to Article 18 of the Civil Code, adults are fully capable of civil conduct and can independently carry out civil legal acts.
3. In addition, minors over the age of sixteen who rely mainly on their own labor income for their livelihood are also considered as persons with full capacity for civil conduct.
