A 
corporation sole is a legal entity consisting of a single person. This allows the corporation to pass vertically from one holder of a position to the next, giving the position legal continuity. Most corporations sole are church-related; for example the 
Archbishop of Canterbury is a
corporation sole. In contrast to a corporation sole, a 
corporation aggregate[?] consists of two or more persons.
