Wills / Trusts Law
Domicile
The country or place a person treats as their permanent home, which can determine which country's succession law applies to their movable property.
Domicile is distinct from mere residence or citizenship — it generally refers to the place a person considers their permanent home and intends to return to, and can significantly affect which country's laws govern the succession of a person's movable property, particularly relevant for NRIs.
Domicile disputes can become legally complex where a person has lived in multiple countries over their lifetime.
