natural domicile

Read a random definition: trustor

A quick definition of natural domicile:

Natural domicile refers to a person's true, fixed, and permanent home, which they consider as their principal and permanent residence. It is the place where a person intends to return and remain, even if they are currently living elsewhere. A person's domicile is significant for legal purposes, and it can be established by physical presence in a state or territory, coupled with the intention to make it home. Domicile can also be assigned by law, such as the domicile of origin, which is the domicile a person has at birth, derived from the custodial parent or imposed by law.

A more thorough explanation:

Natural domicile refers to a person's true, fixed, principal, and permanent home, to which that person intends to return and remain even though currently residing elsewhere. It is the place where a person has been physically present and regards as home. A person has a settled connection with their natural domicile for legal purposes, either because that place is home or because the law has designated that place.

For example, if a person is born in New York and their parents are domiciled in New York, then their natural domicile is New York. Even if they move to California for work or school, their natural domicile remains New York because that is where they intend to return and remain.

Another example is if a person is a citizen of the United States, their natural domicile is the United States. Even if they live abroad for many years, their natural domicile remains the United States because that is where they have their true, fixed, principal, and permanent home.

@mastermonkey45: Looking at some of the recent decisions in relation to when they went complete, I'd say it's a good sign. It seems many declines were sent within about 5-6 weeks of completion. Given those were applications that were SENT in January, I'd say that means you're still solidly in the running. :)
