Using family member address?

[caysea7254]

What is the effect on a family member if we use there address for our permanent address while we fulltime? I don't want to ask my sister and her husband if it has some sort of effect. They live in fla. And we will eventually settle there,so just thinking why use mail service if they r ok with it. Thoughts please. Thanks Tara

We've met a number of full-timers who use a relative's address (kid, sibling, etc.) as their legal domicile. None of them have mentioned any issues. I'm sure there are differences among the states, though, so you might want to seek some expert advice about Florida specifically. The main aspects are drivers' licenses, vehicle registration, income taxes, voter registration, and your banking institution(s). The Escapees RV Club has a lot of information on this on their main web site.

The only effect I can think of is if they would qualify for some sort of benefit based on "household income". Example would be property tax relief for seniors, low cost loans for home improvements and the like.

The effect is that they're now your mail service, and you'll eventually have to ask them.
