Corporation Sole

A Corporation Sole is a legal entity that allows a religious leader or a specific office, such as a bishop or minister, to hold and manage property, assets, and certain legal rights separately from themselves personally. This structure enables the office to maintain continuity over time, regardless of changes in individuals holding the position. It provides legal stability for managing church property and obligations, ensuring that the assets remain dedicated to the organization's purpose. Essentially, it's a special legal form that separates the religious office's responsibilities and assets from the individual holding that office.
