At what point should the government step in and take away the right of a citizen to enter into contracts?

I had an aunt for whom this would have been (and was) the case, but she was 1 in 50K level of mentally incapable.

What about taking away the ability of a corporation to offer them contracts? I hesitate to call that a "right".

When you take away one side’s ability to enter into certain contracts, you take away the other side’s as well.
