Meaning of Corpus

Corpus

Language - Latin

Tamil Word - மூலச்சொத்து

The main body or principal of an estate or property, as distinct from the income or revenue it generates. (e.g., The trust fund's corpus is invested in various assets, while the income is used for charitable purposes.) In Tamil Nadu real estate and historical land documents, 'Corpus' could refer to the core or principal value of a property or estate, separate from any income or profits it might generate. This distinction is crucial in matters of inheritance, trusts, and taxation.
