If you come from a high tax state like NY, you MUST spend 6mos and a day in another state to declare it your domicile and believe me, NY has tax auditors galore to prove you didn't.
We lived in NY for over 20 years while owning a place on Long Island at South Point. I SO wanted to declare NH my domicile! MY accountant said NO WAY an it wasn't until 2014 that we actually moved.
Subsequently, we have moved to FL which is becoming more tax friendly than NH.
