: You have to be very careful about the use of "domiciled" if the text is for use in England as "domiciled has a very special meaning in English law, especially tax law. You can be living outside England, but still be domiciled in England!

You are refering to the domicile of origin, e.g. a native British working abroad is due to animus revertendi still concidered to have a domicile in GB. However form the context it is obvious that this is not the case here.

residing
This allows for the smoothest translation in your context:
...was requested to describe the plaintiff's brothers residing in Belgium
"Residing" is more specific than "living", since it implies permanent legal status, and "domiciled" is mainly used for corporations.
