A legal entity is the organization that created and passed the registration in the manner prescribed by law. It can be both commercial and non-commercial, to have different assets, participate in economic activities.
A legal entity for its obligations only responsible property, which is available on her balance. It has a certain legal form (JSC, JSC, LLC, ck, ODO), as determined by the civil code.
A natural person is considered a citizen of the Russian Federation, a foreign state or a stateless person, have responsibilities and rights by the very fact of its existence. In other words, is the person acting as the subject of legal relations.

Comparison of legal entities and individuals
A legal person can bring only civil and administrative liability, and physical – and even to criminal and disciplinary. However, each case needs to be complied with the established state order. A natural person – a product of nature, it is always a singular. Legal same – the creation of man, it may include in its membership a group of people.
The legal entities have the opportunity to join together in contact, to make deals. This person is responsible for its debts with all its assets, and legal – only because it's got the balance. In addition, the organization can be subjected to liquidation or bankruptcy, but no way to jail.
Against natural persons, criminal prosecution, can be eliminated, but only in the literal sense of the word, which is punishable by law. As for bankruptcy, this is a debatable issue. The procedure of economic insolvency because of certain reasons, may be carried out in respect of the person.
Legal and physical person: the differences
Thus, it is possible to determine that the difference between individuals from legal is:
An individual is, in fact, a creation of nature. In turn, the organization is created for a purpose by a group of persons or person in the manner prescribed by law.
At the time of its organization, the legal person acquires legal rights and duties. Man must reach a certain age and to account for their actions.
A legal entity may involve civil or administrative liability, and physical – and even to disciplinary and criminal.
A natural person terminates its activities at the time of death (loss of heartbeat and cessation of breathing) and the entity only after its liquidation.
Now you know what distinguishes the individual from legal.
