Understanding Capacity to Contract in Nepal

Understanding Capacity to Contract in Nepal

The capacity to contract ensures that only competent individuals and entities can enter into legally binding agreements. In Nepal, the National Civil Code, 2017 identifies minors, persons of unsound mind, and legally disqualified persons as lacking capacity. While guardians may contract on behalf of minors or those mentally unfit, contracts directly entered by such individuals are void. Disqualifications also extend to individuals with criminal convictions or insolvency. These rules aim to protect vulnerable groups and uphold fairness and enforceability in legal and commercial transactions.

Nata Kayam Certification Process in Nepal Explained

Nata Kayam is a vital legal process in Nepal used to officially verify and establish family relationships for purposes such as inheritance, citizenship, pensions, and property division. The certificate can be issued either through the Ward Office or District Court, depending on the clarity and complexity of the relationship. While ward-level certification is quick and document-driven, court procedures involve legal scrutiny and hearings in disputed or unclear cases. Rooted in the Muluki Civil Code 2074, this process ensures legal recognition of familial ties and protects individual rights in administrative and judicial matters.
