Terms Used In Alabama Code 10A-16-1.04

  • Corporation: A legal entity owned by the holders of shares of stock that have been issued, and that can own, receive, and transfer property, and carry on business in its own name.
  • Liabilities: The aggregate of all debts and other legal obligations of a particular person or legal entity.

The beneficial ownership in a business trust may be evidenced by certificates issued by the trustees. These beneficial interests, whether certificated or uncertificated, shall be transferable in the same manner as stock of a corporation is transferable. No assessment shall be made against the interest of any beneficial owner, and no beneficial owner shall be personally liable for any debts or liabilities incurred by the trustees or by the business trust.
