In all states, a person has reached the age of majority and is a legal adult at the age of 18. A minor can also be emancipated, or declared a legal adult, by the court. In some states, people as young as 15 may be able to contract for necessities like food and shelter as well as education and car expenses. For example, in Alabama, a minor over the age of 15 may purchase health, life and auto insurance. In New Jersey, a married 17-year-old may sign property contracts.
