About this document
While similar to residency, an Affidavit of Domicile establishes where a person considers their permanent, primary home. This is crucial in probate law after someone dies. It determines which state has jurisdiction over the estate and which state's inheritance taxes apply.
It is often required by financial institutions before they will release the stocks, bonds, or funds of a deceased person to the executor. It proves the "center of life" for the deceased.
