one of them must act as representative of them all

personería refers to an individual's right to act in formal proceedings (in this case, for example, cast votes in a shareholder meeting).
The ST text is saying that all the heirs acquire the los derechos y obligaciones del socio fallecido on an equal basis, but one of them must exercise those rights on behalf of them all (which would mean, for example, that their chosen representative would only cast one vote).
Peer comment(s):
