B. "Nonresident alien" means a decedent who was not a resident or citizen of the United States at the time of his or her death.
C. Personal representative includes persons listed in § 1-13.21, Code of Virginia.
D. "Resident means a decedent who was domiciled in the Commonwealth of Virginia at his death." § 58.1-901. The determination of domicile is a factual matter which must be resolved on an individual case basis. A person can have only one domicile. If he has two or more places of abode, his domicile is the one which is determined to be his permanent home. Consideration is given to a number of factors in determining a decedent's domicile, including the following: length of time of residence; place of birth and marriage; place of business, profession or employment; residence of family; reason for acquiring or abandoning domicile; situs of real and tangible property; location of savings and checking accounts; motor vehicle registration and licensing; motor vehicle operator's license; voter registration; membership in clubs and civic groups; charitable contributions; in the case of a minor decedent, domicile of parents; and in the case of a married decedent, domicile of husband or wife and children.
No single factor is dispositive in determining domicile; rather, the factors are examined collectively to determine if the intent to acquire or abandon Virginia domicile exists. A simple declaration of intent to abandon domicile, or physical presence elsewhere, is insufficient to abrogate Virginia domicile.
E. Resident alien means a decedent who was not a citizen of the United States, but was a resident of the United States.
