The signature in brackets is signed by the guardian, which means that if the party who needs to sign is a minor, it needs to be signed by his legal guardian. Because minors are people without civil capacity, they must carry out civil acts under the supervision of legal guardians. The guardian is the legal authorized person, and the guardian signs on behalf of the ward.

Legal analysis

The age limit for persons without civil capacity refers to minors under the age of eight and adults who cannot identify their own behavior. Civil capacity can be divided into three categories: complete civil capacity, limited civil capacity and no civil capacity. Minors under the age of eight and mental patients without capacity for civil conduct cannot identify their own behavior, and their legal representatives shall represent them in civil activities. Judging behavioral ability by age is an objective standard; And people's cognitive ability and judgment ability is a subjective problem. Even if a person has reached the age of eighteen, if he is mentally ill, he is still not a person with full capacity for civil conduct. When a person is judged as a person without civil capacity according to his mental state and mental illness, he must go through strict legal procedures, because it involves the rights and abilities of a citizen. People with no capacity for civil conduct and people with limited capacity for civil conduct cannot bear civil liability because of the limitation of subject qualification. Although a person with no capacity or limited capacity cannot bear or be restricted when he bears civil liability, he should be a direct infringer when he infringes on the rights and interests of others, so he cannot escape the risk of becoming a civil defendant. However, although he is the defendant, the subject who bears the responsibility or part of the responsibility is his guardian. If a person without capacity for civil conduct or a person with limited capacity for civil conduct causes damage to others, the guardian shall bear tort liability. If a guardian fulfills his guardianship responsibility, his tort liability may be reduced. If a person without capacity for civil conduct or a person with limited capacity for civil conduct owns property and causes damage to others, he shall make compensation with his own property. The insufficient part shall be compensated by the guardian.
