If a contract does not comply, what should the purchaser do?

When a contract does not comply with legal requirements or regulations, seeking to have the contract voided in court is a prudent action. This choice is based on the principle that a legal contract must meet certain standards; if it fails to do so, it may be considered invalid or unenforceable. By pursuing this option, the purchaser is taking formal legal steps to address the issue, which is important for ensuring that their rights are protected and that they are not bound to an agreement that is not compliant.

This approach is particularly significant in the context of funeral service laws, where compliance with regulations can affect both the provider and the consumer. Courts are equipped to assess the validity of contracts and can rule on whether the terms are enforceable or if they require nullification due to non-compliance with statutory or regulatory standards.

In contrast, disregarding the contract, notifying the seller via email, or contacting the state board may not provide sufficient recourse or protection for the purchaser. Ignoring the contract does not address the potential legal issues that could arise, while simply notifying the seller does not ensure that the legal flaws of the contract are rectified. Contacting the state board might provide guidance or assistance, but it may not have the authority to void the contract directly
