A corporation sole is a legal entity consisting of a single ("sole") incorporated office, occupied by a single ("sole") natural person.[1][2] This structure allows corporations (often religious corporations or Commonwealth governments) to pass without interruption from one officeholder to the next, giving positions legal continuity with subsequent officeholders having identical powers and possessions to their predecessors.
