Anyone can sign a document no matter what age. But only people who have reached the age of 18 can validly enter into contracts. If someone under 18 signs a legal document (say taking out a loan) then that person can use the fact that they were not an adult when they signed the document as a defense to any lawsuit by the person who is trying to enforce the agreement.
