Ok, so the age of majority seems to be 21 in NY, but at 18 I can sign my own contracts, play the lottery, get a credit card, move out if I so wish, have s*x, rent an apartment, even buy a car (assuming I somehow had a good credit history at this young age). And yet the age of majority is 21... the only thing I can think of that happens at 21 is I can drink/ buy alcohol. Am I wrong in any of this? Or is there something else you can do at 21 that makes that the age of majority in New York? Why is it 21 if I can basically do everything at 18?
