Highlight

Before a court may set aside a transaction on the ground of mental incapacity, a party attacking the validity of the transaction has the burden to prove the grantor was so weak mentally as not to be able to comprehend and understand the nature and effect of the transaction.
A lease of agricultural land having a fixed, non-contingent term longer than ten years is entirely invalid and not simply invalid beyond ten years.
