 | | A corporation sole is one consisting of one person only, and his successors in some particular station, who are incorporated by law in order to give them some legal capacities and advantages, particularly that of perpetuity, which in their natural persons they could not have had. |
 | | When the corporate sole officer died, or was incapacitated, or was removed from office by the Pope or Archbishop, title to the property passed not to the corporate sole officers heirs, but to a successor officer (usually another bishop). |
 | | California Corporate Code § 10002 A corporation sole may be formed under this part by the bishop, chief priest, presiding elder, or other presiding officer of any religious denomination, society, or church, for the purpose of administering and managing the affairs, property, and temporalities thereof. |
