It is generally accepted that a person who becomes mentally incapacitated in adult life is no longer capable of forming the intent to acquire a domicile of choice and they retain whichever domicile they held prior to becoming incapable. If an individual is born mentally incapable at birth or becomes so before they reach the age of majority, there is a view that their domicile of dependency continues to depend on the change with their parents, even after they reach the age of majority. There is also a "recommendation of the English and Scottish Law Commissions under which an adult who lacks mental capacity to acquire a domicile would be considered domiciled in the country with which he or she is for the time being most closely connected."
