In a legal sense, persons are typically considered to be human beings. However, certain legal systems may also recognize corporations, partnerships, and other entities as legal persons. Additionally, some jurisdictions may have specific laws that grant legal personhood to animals or children in certain circumstances.

Legal Persons:
- Natural persons: Human beings (also known as individuals)
- Artificial (fictitious) persons: Legal entities created by statute or common law, which have the capacity to own property, enter into contracts, and sue or be sued. These include:
- Corporations
- Partnerships
- Limited liability companies (LLCs)
- Trusts
- Non-profit organizations
In some jurisdictions, certain non-human entities may also be considered legal persons, such as:
- Animal persons: In some areas, pets or service animals may be recognized as legal persons with limited rights, such as the right to receive veterinary care or protection from abuse.
- Artificial intelligence (AI) entities: As AI technology advances, the status of AI entities as legal persons is being debated, particularly in the context of ownership of intellectual property or liability for actions taken by AI systems.
Legal Capacity of Minors:
- Minors: Persons under the age of legal majority (typically 18).
- Minors generally do not have the full legal capacity of adults, meaning they may have limited rights to enter into contracts, vote, or own property without the consent of a parent or guardian.
