# Delete a person

Deletes an existing person’s relationship to the account’s legal entity. Any person with a relationship for an account can be deleted through the API, except if the person is the `account_opener`. If your integration is using the `executive` parameter, you cannot delete the only verified `executive` on file.

## Returns

Returns the deleted [`person`](https://docs.stripe.com/api/persons/object.md) object.
