exercising their rights & to fulfill their obligations even if the person is factually
absent
• Must be permanent resident or have the intention for settling for an indefinite
period of time

Because is affects the following……
• Legitimacy of a child
• a child's birth determines it domicile of origin.
• Succession

determines how estate is administered.

whether the deceased had ability to execute a will.

which marriage would follow.
