Which one of the following is not a legal person ?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
A 'Dead person' is not a legal person because legal personality commences at birth and terminates at death, even though the law protects a deceased person's body, reputation and estate to a limited extent. By contrast, a living minor is a natural legal person, and an incorporated company and a recognized Hindu idol are juristic (artificial) persons.
