Maria's daughter is seriously ill. Desperate, Maria deeds her $250,000 house to a physician for $2,500 of medical treatment. This contract has a valid bargained-for-exchange and is most likely not legally enforceable.
Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)
False
The agreement is not a valid bargained-for-exchange and is not legally enforceable. Although courts do not generally inquire as to the adequacy of consideration, a court may refuse to enforce a contract or any clause of a contract if it considers the contract or clause unconscionable-that is, the consideration is so ridiculously inadequate that it shocks the court's conscience. This designation usually happens when there is a great in-equality in bargaining power between the two parties.
