Chapter 7: Voidable Contracts.
❤️ARTICLE 1394❤️
Ratification may be effected by the guardian of the incapacitated person. (n)
WHO MAY RATIFY.
(1) A contract entered into by an incapacitated person may be ratified by:
a) the guardian; or
b) the injured party himself provided he is already capacitated.
As legal representative of their wards, guardians have the power to contract on their behalf. Hence, they may also ratify contracts entered into by their wards. (see Art. 1407)
(2) In case the contract is voidable on the ground of mistake, etc., ratification can be made by the party whose consent is vitiated.
