§501. Definitions
For the purposes of this Chapter, the following terms shall have the following meanings unless the context clearly indicates otherwise:
(1) "Immovable property" includes, without limitation, mineral rights, predial servitudes, and predial leases.
(2) "Member" means a person who, under the rules or practices of an unincorporated association, may participate in the selection of persons authorized to manage the affairs of the unincorporated association or in the development of policy of the unincorporated association.
(3) "Person" means an individual, corporation, business trust, estate, trust, partnership, association, joint venture, government, governmental subdivision, agency, or instrumentality, or any other legal or commercial entity.
(4) "State" means the state of Louisiana.
(5) "Unincorporated association" means an unincorporated organization, other than one created by a trust, consisting of two or more members joined by mutual consent for a common, nonprofit purpose.
