A contract is not automatically void if one of the parties dies; it typically depends on the nature of the contract and the obligations involved. If the contract requires personal performance from the deceased party, it may be considered voidable. However, if the contract can be fulfilled by the deceased party's estate or involves obligations that can continue after death, it may remain valid. Legal advice is often needed to determine the specific implications in such cases.
