ABSTRACT
Place of domicile is defined by statute.7 The domicile will be a domicile of origin (place of birth) or domicile of choice (place in which an individual usually resides). In the case of a legitimate child born during his father’s lifetime, the domicile of origin of the child is the domicile of his father at the time of the child’s birth. The domicile of choice depends on the individual establishing a home with the intention of permanent or indefinite residence there.8 The domicile of origin prevails so long as the domicile of choice is in question.9
