More details to this question:
Is the contract void when a person puts on the contract " under duress"
1 ANSWER
A contract procured under duress is voidable (voidable means that the party under duress has the option of cancelling the contract, as long as he/she doesn't wait too long to do so.) While just writing "under duress" doesn't mean that a court will find that duress actually existed, if I were the other party to the contract I would not accept such a signature, because I would always be concerned that the other party was going to try to void the contract.
