Evergreen Estаtes, LLC ("Evergreen"), оwned by Diаnа, entered intо a written cоntract on January 2, 2026, to sell a historic property to Marcus for $900,000. The contract provided that Marcus was required to obtain financing of at least $700,000 by February 2, 2026, complete and pay for all structural inspections by February 15, 2026, and close escrow on March 2, 2026. At the time the contract was signed, Marcus was 17 years old. Although Marcus appeared older than his age, Diana asked him whether he was at least 18. Marcus replied, "Of course." On February 1, 2026, Marcus turned 18 years old. That same day, a lender issued Marcus a written commitment for a $700,000 loan. On February 10, a structural inspection revealed major foundation defects. The report estimated repair costs of approximately $60,000. After receiving the inspection report, Marcus emailed Diana stating: "The inspection issues are acceptable to me. I still intend to buy the property." On March 1, a severe storm damaged a detached garage located on the property. The main residence was not damaged. Estimated repair costs for the garage were $10,000. On the same day, Marcus informed Diana: "I have changed my mind and will not purchase the property under any circumstances." Immediately thereafter, Diana hired a contractor to repair the garage and listed the property for sale. On March 10, Marcus notified Diana that he wished to proceed with the purchase and attempted to withdraw from his March 2 statement. Diana responded: "It is too late. I treated your statement as a breach and have already made alternative arrangements." The parties later met to discuss the dispute. During the meeting, Diana stated that because Marcus had been a minor when the contract was formed, the contract was voidable. Marcus threatened litigation. One month later, the parties executed a written agreement stating: "Marcus will pay Diana $40,000 in full settlement of any and all claims arising from the January 2, 2026, contract." Marcus promptly paid Diana the $40,000. One month after receiving the payment, Diana demanded an additional $100,000 in damages, asserting that the original contract remained enforceable. What claims, defenses, and remedies, if any, do Marcus and Diana have against each other? Discuss.
