There are several circumstances that can cause a contract to become void including the following:
- an illegal act is required
- a significant mistake occurs
- a party to the contract breaches it
- one party lacks capacity
- supervening impossibility( frustration of contract)
If it states in the contract when one of the people dies.
This question asks when is a contract "void." A contract is "void" when it never was a valid contract to begin with. It is different than a contract that had been valid but is no longer enforceable by a party that has breached it.
Some reasons why a contract may be void are:
The contract is for an illegal act, such as hiring a person to commit murder. (Known in certain circles as "putting out a contract" on someone)
The contract is for an act that is against the public policy of a government such as an agreement not to sell property to a member of a particular race, nationality or religion.
The contract was never reasonably understood because of mutual mistake of the parties so that there was never a true meeting of the minds.
The contract is not supported by a consideration such as a promise to make a gift in the future.
The contract is one where a party does not have legal capacity to execute a contract, such as where a party is a minor or has been judicially declared incompetent.
The contract is entered into by a person who does not have the requisite mental capacity to understand the nature of a contract even if that party has not been declared incompetent.
Assuming a contractual agreement, a contract is void ab initio if it is a breach of law and public policy in the first place. In the case it isn't, it can become void where there is a breach of contract.
The word valid means legally good. Thus, a valid contract is one that is legally binding. Hope this helps (:

No, it will not be void because noterisation is not necessary.
Yes, all clauses would be null and void if the original contract this was based on was not signed. There is no need for a non compete clause if there is not a contract.
If the laws materially affect the contract, yes. If the affect is minor, it would not void the contract, but may require some renegotiation.
That depends on the particular contact.
According to the terms of the particular contract, or, when the contract is amended in writing by both parties.
