TITLE I - NATURAL AND JURIDICAL PERSONS
Art. 24. There are two kinds of persons: natural persons and juridical persons.
A natural person is a human being. A juridical person is an entity to which the law attributes personality, such as a corporation or a partnership. The personality of a juridical person is distinct from that of its members. [Acts 1987, No. 125, §1, eff. Jan. 1, 1988]
Art. 25. Natural personality commences from the moment of live birth and terminates at death. [Acts 1987, No. 125, §1, eff. Jan. 1, 1988]
Art. 26. An unborn child shall be considered as a natural person for whatever relates to its interests from the moment of conception. If the child is born dead, it shall be considered never to have existed as a person, except for purposes of actions resulting from its wrongful death. [Acts 1987, No. 125, §1, eff. Jan. 1, 1988]
Art. 27. All natural persons enjoy general legal capacity to have rights and duties. [Acts 1987, No. 125, §1, eff. Jan. 1, 1988]
Art. 28. A natural person who has reached majority has capacity to make all sorts of juridical acts, unless otherwise provided by legislation. [Acts 1987, No. 125, §1, eff. Jan. 1, 1988]

Art. 31. One claiming a right that has accrued to another person is bound to prove that such person existed at the time when the right accrued. [Acts 1990, No. 989, §3, eff. Jan. 1, 1991]
