Hi,

Sorry to hear about your loss, I hope you and family are managing well. Yes once you have filed the notice of death for the person, you will have to apply for letters of administration (if No will) to become the administrator or grant of probate (if with will) to become the executor, to manage the affairs of the deceased including the estate sale of the property.

There is no hard and fast rule over the period to sell, hdb will usually consider the circumstances and provide a reasonable time period as they understand it can be a difficult period for the family.

I have worked on similar cases before and will be able to provide an overall view of the process.

Hope the above clarifies. I am well-versed with HDB and private property transactions, having helped more than 100 homeowners transit smoothly with their housing plans. Please reach out to me at 97432395  for a more in-depth discussion :)

May I have more info on your requirements so as to make better recommendations? Thanks and looking forward to chat more

Hi,

I would be most glad to assist you further and pls feel free to let me know if you need any assistance. Have a good day ahead. By the way, yes you just need to inform HDB and they will be able to advise you accordingly. Also, you be given a reasonable amount of time to dispose off the flat if the next person is not eligible to retain the flat. I have handled and assisted a couple of such cases and would be most glad to help you too.

Good day to you,

As your inquiry pertains to the "NEED", hence the direct answer is yes, but as to "WHEN", it is almost immediate as you need to file for the Notice of Death after obtaining the Death certificate.
Regarding the second portion of your inquiry, there is no fixed duration for the sales.
Firstly, one needs to finalize the schedule of assets and settle all the outstanding debts.
Then the Court will issue the Letter of Administration or Grant of Probate, depending on the existence of Will, if there is no dispute or complication.
Lastly, the need to monetize the assets, and distribute the balance among the eligible beneficiaries.
If there is no eligible surviving beneficiaries, things can become more complicated.

FROM HDB WEBSITE ON THIS :
https://www.hdb.gov.sg/residential/living-in-an-hdb-flat/changing-owners-occupiers/retain-flat-following-life-events

Eligibility
As the remaining family or single occupier, you are allowed to retain the existing flat, provided you:

are a Singapore Citizen (SC) or Singapore Permanent Resident (SPR)

If there is a will
The deceased’s interest in the flat will be distributed according to the will.

You will need:

Grant of Probate
The deceased’s family should engage a private solicitor to apply for this court order, which gives legal authority to the Executor (the person named in the will) to manage the deceased's estate.

If there is no will
The deceased’s interest in the flat will be distributed according to the provisions of the Intestate Succession Act.

You will need:

Grant of Letters of Administration
The deceased’s family should engage a private solicitor to apply for this court order, which gives legal authority to the Administrator to manage the deceased’s estate.

Registering your legal right as an Administrator/ Executor
Once the Grant of Letters of Administration or the Grant of Probate has been obtained, you can engage your own solicitors or appoint our solicitors to act for you to register your legal right as the Administrator or Executor.

If you wish to engage our services, you can approach the HDB Branch managing the deceased’s flat to make the necessary application with the following documents:

Am sorry to hear about the loss. Did the owner leave any will regarding the HDB unit? Without a will, the distribution of the estate is governed by the Rules set out in the Intestate Succession Act. You may clarify on the above with the estate lawyer.

——

I have been in the real estate business since 2009, with more than 14 years of experience serving the Singapore real estate market.

I am very active in the residential segment of Singapore real estate market, having transacted hundreds of deals from HDBs to private condominiums and landed properties in Singapore, and have handled many unique cases in sales and purchases as well as rental deals.

Over the years, I have also established a network reaching out to more than 9,400 expatriates, bringing my market presence to both in and outside of Singapore. This has created an additional exposure when I manage my client's portfolios, on top of the conventional on and offline platforms, where other estate agents are relying on. This has allowed me to consistently convert leads into results.

With an evolving market, where change is the only constant, I have also been investing in upgrading of my knowledge and skills sets to improve myself and meet the demands of current and future market.

We are offering our clients a complimentary first consultation without obligations (Absolutely FREE!). Schedule for your FREE session today!
