Facts
Heights (P) performed under an exclusive listing contract in finding Mrs. Gholson represented by Phillips (D), a buyer to purchase her property. Mrs. Gholson was eighty-four years old when she signed the contract that listed her property for one year in the amount of $250,000 with a cash down payment of $75,000. An offer was made to purchase the property for $255,000, and she did not accept. Mrs. Gholson was adjudicated incompetent, and following a bench trial she was found to have lacked the mental capacity to enter into the contract with P. P appealed; the presumption of competency was not overcome by clear and convincing evidence.
