A competent person in the context of a contract is typically someone who has the legal capacity to enter into an agreement, which includes being of legal age and having the mental ability to understand the contract's terms. A person who is a minor, mentally incapacitated, or under the influence of drugs or alcohol may not be considered competent. Additionally, individuals who are deemed legally incompetent by a court are also not recognized as competent parties to a contract. These factors can render a contract void or voidable.
