Declaration of domicile

I cannot offer you any information, Boss, but i do think you might ask one of the moderators to move this to the legal forum, in which i believe you can get first class advice . . .

Onyxelle- Here is the definition of a Florida Declaration of Domicile:

Are you saying that this guy moved into a house that didn't belong to him?
How does he expect to get the deed to a house that isn't his?

Unless I am missing something, it sounds like he is living in that house illegally, and could be in BIG trouble!

It varies from state to state. In some New England states, the equivalent of squatters rights is recognized after a certain period of tenure. I've forgotten what the actual legal expression is. Jespah can probably provide it. But I'm not sure whether a decleration of domicile is applicable here. In New Hampshire, for example, the occupancy has to be 'notorious,' in other words known by all as a borderline illegality. Seems to me that filing a declaration of domicile would negate this notoriety.

I believe the general rule is that one cannot acquire property from the government through adverse possession. If the government holds the deed, it is the owner. As such, your friend can squat on that property until kingdom come: he will never become the owner.

The dude needs to vacate the premises. He's not going to get possession this way. He needs to pay his money like the rest of us. :-D

thanks y'all. this pretty much what i was thinking...

It totally differs state to state and it has the really different things to have in. Here is not any kind of rule you are looking for and the condition.
