hello, im ariel, i just turned 18 yesterday and im an american citizen(born in brooklyn), but i havnt been to the US since then because i never lived there,
i was wondering what is the legal age of being an adult
like being able to sign papers, vote, drive, apply for jobs, legally choose where you want to live, go to discoes/bars, drink, etc.. (well you get the point)

well the reason im asking is because some people including my dad told me that you have to be 21 years old to be able to sign papers or leave home in the laws of the US,

is that true?
what is the age of being an adult?

I entered into an agreement with another individual orally (mistake). Therefore, I cannot produce a document showing what we each agreed to. However, I can argue that we did have an agreement because we actually carried it out over many months. What legal concept is that?

As things stand in the beginning, the boy stands to inherit a lot of money from his uncle when he dies. However, the boy learns that the uncle plans to write him out of the will. Therefore, the boy kills the uncle before his uncle is able to change the will. He is charged with murder and convicted. While in jail, he petitions the probate court for the money he is claims he is due under his dead uncle's will. The uncle's sisters vehemently oppose letting the boy collect the money.

The problem: there is no law on the books in that jurisdiction that would prevent the boy from getting his money. The Judge is very perplexed. On one hand, the judge believes it would be unjust for the boy to get the money. On the other hand, the judge says, under the law that is on the books, the boy gets the money. The judge asks you what she ought to do. What do ya think?
