Meaning of Corporation Sole

Corporation Sole

Language - English

Tamil Word - தனியொரு கூட்டுருமம்

A legal entity consisting of a single incorporated office, occupied by a single natural person. (e.g., The Bishop of the diocese holds the property as a corporation sole.) In the context of Tamil Nadu real estate and historical land documents, 'Corporation Sole' might be encountered in relation to religious institutions or offices where property ownership is vested in a single individual, such as a bishop or a temple administrator. This legal structure ensures continuity of ownership and management even as individuals holding the office change over time.
