The article is devoted to the analysis of the concept of
legal capacity, which is one of the fundamental concepts
in the science of civil law. The authors have covered
approaches to the disclosure of this concept in the legal
systems of foreign countries. The common features
inherent in all considered variants of interpretation were
revealed. Legal capacity is a sufficient criterion for
establishing the fact of the legal existence of a legal
entity. In accordance with Art. 17 of the Civil Code of the
Russian Federation, legal capacity is the ability of an
individual to have rights and bear responsibilities. The
emergence of the legal capacity of an individual is
determined by the moment of his birth (clause 2 of Article
17 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).
Accordingly, the termination of legal capacity is
determined by the moment of biological death (clause 2
of Article 17 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation),
since the subject of law no longer exists. If the person has
been declared dead, but in fact is alive, this does not
detract from his legal capacity, he automatically continues
to use his legal capacity, respectively to enjoy the full
range of rights and bear the responsibilities. In the
scientific literature, both passive and active legal capacity
are distinguished. The authors study different approaches,
shows the lack of a common understanding of legal
capacity, but all analyzed doctrinal approaches have a
common feature - all reflections concern a certain person,
his rights and duties. The authors concluded that the key
component of legal capacity is the ability to be a subject
of statutory rights and obligations
