Trump v. Barbara · ¶376

Bernard then brought a bill in equity against both Julia and Clarke. Julia cited the special statute giving her inheritance rights, but also argued that because she was born in the United States, she inherited all of Thomas’s property and had other equitable entitlements. That argument turned on a state-law bar on aliens inheriting real property, so Julia argued that she was not an alien. She argued, among other things, that she was not an alien because she was in fact domiciled in the United States at the time of her birth: Her father “came here with an intention to remain, and thereby changed his domicil.” Id., at 632.
