What is the prima facie evidence that a person intends to reside and live in that location?

Alberta, Canada


The following excerpt is from Foote Estate (Re), 2009 ABQB 654 (CanLII):

Residence in a place is also, in itself, prima facie evidence that a person intends to reside and live in that location: Fedeluk v. Fedeluk, at para. 9. Of course, that kind of evidence can be rebutted, particularly if the reason for residence in that place has an alternative explanation.
