Question & Answer

Review the question and all answer choices

A

not accept the listing.

Option A is incorrect because brokers can work with emancipated minors; they're not automatically barred. The law provides a path forward with proper safeguards.

B

accept the listing.

Option B is incorrect because simply accepting the listing without additional protection exposes the broker to potential liability and doesn't address the minor's limited capacity for complex transactions.

C

accept the listing only with a guarantee from an adult.

Correct Answer
D

accept the listing, but it will be voidable.

Option D is incorrect because the listing isn't voidable - it's valid with the adult guarantee. Voidable implies uncertainty from the outset, whereas this arrangement creates a binding transaction with proper safeguards.

Why is this correct?

Option C is correct because while emancipated minors have legal independence, California real estate regulations require additional protection for high-value transactions. An adult guarantee provides this protection, allowing the broker to accept the listing while ensuring financial responsibility.
