Legal Definitions - in corpore

in corpore

In corpore means that something exists in a physical form or substance. It refers to things that can be seen, touched, or felt.

• The artist created a sculpture in corpore, using clay to mold it into a physical form.
• The company's profits were not just on paper, but in corpore, as they had a physical presence in the form of assets and inventory.

These examples illustrate how in corpore refers to something that exists in a tangible, physical form. The sculpture and the company's assets are both examples of things that can be seen and touched, and therefore exist in corpore.
