8. Cold comfort, but under Contract Law (Restatement and caselaw),

if a document is signed without the signer knowing the contents of that document, the document is invalid and unenforceable.

Example: I had to take a Will to be signed by an ill, elderly man in a nursing home. It was obvious that he didn't understand what was in the Will and that he didn't appreciate it was his Will. But yet, there was his stepdaughter by his side, instructing him to sign, sign, sign. I grabbed the document away and told her if she continued, I'd tear up the Will and throw the confetti in her face. In any case, the Will wasn't signed that day.
