In Florida, domicile is generally regarded as the place where a person has a fixed abode with the present intention of making it his permanent home. One established, a domicile continues until it is superseded by a new one.

A person's intentions may be proved by his expressions of intent and by overt acts proving intent. Intent may be shown by ones testimony or that of another. Courts though tend to focus on nonsubjective evidence to infer intent such as the following:

  • executing a new will reciting Florida as the state of domicile
  • filing of a declaration of domicile with the clerk of court
  • obtaining of a Florida driver license
  • obtaining a Florida library card
  • registering to vote in Florida
  • owning a Florida residence and filing a Florida homestead exemption for the property
  • sale of residence in former state of domicile
  • ceasing employment in former state of domicile
  • activity in community in Florida
  • moving medical, dental, legal, and accounting relationships to Florida professionals
