### sec.25 Powers and legal capacity generally
In performing its objects or functions, an incorporated church entity has all the powers, and the legal capacity, of an individual.
The entity may, for example—
enter into contracts; and
acquire, hold, deal with and dispose of property; and
invest and deal with money; and
do other things necessary or convenient to be done in performing its objects or functions.
The entity may exercise its powers—
inside and outside Queensland; and
inside and outside Australia.
The fact that the doing of an act by the entity would not be, or is not, in its best interests does not affect its power or legal capacity to do the act.
