Description
The Affidavit of Domicile is a legal document that establishes the legal residence of a deceased person at the time of their death, known as domicile, and clarifies the difference between domicile and deemed domicile. Domicile refers to the home where a person has their permanent residence, while deemed domicile may apply to individuals who have significant ties to a location, even if they do not reside there full-time. This affidavit serves to authenticate that the decedent's domicile was their registered address, facilitating the transfer of securities owned by the deceased. Key features of this form include sections for identifying the affiant, detailing the decedent's residence, and affirming that the decedent was not a resident of another state. When filling out the affidavit, the affiant must be present to sign before a notary public, ensuring legal validity. The form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants who are handling estate matters, as it helps streamline the process of transferring assets and clarifying residency issues in legal proceedings.
