Multiple Choice

Domicile of choice may be abandoned by which action?

Domicile of choice is lost only when you both stop living in the territory and stop intending to make it your permanent home. Both elements must be present for abandonment to occur: actual residence ends, and the intention to reside there indefinitely ends as well. So this action is the only one that truly abandons the domicile of choice because it meets both criteria at once. If you leave but still intend to reside there indefinitely, you haven’t abandoned your domicile because the intention remains to treat that place as your permanent home. If you acquire permanent residency, or if you leave but still intend to reside there indefinitely, or if you take a foreign will, none of these by themselves demonstrate a clear abandonment of the domicile of choice.
