Dear Property Guru,
I have a HDB inheritance case that need your quick advice.
An elderly lady (around age 89) is staying with his divorced son (age around 60) in a HDB flat.
The HDB flat ownership is Joint Tenancy between the elderly lady and her divorced son. The elderly lady has 3 other adult children not staying with her.
The divorced son has a young son (age around 28) and staying with his divorced mother. The divorced son is poor, sickly and no Will established currently.
Who will inherit the HDB flat should the mother passed away and the divorced son also pass away a few years later without a Will?
Understand that without a Will, the inheritance would have to follow the Interstate Succession Act (ISA). According to the ISA, wife will get 50% and the children will equally share the balance 50%.
But since this is a divorce case, the 28-year old son is actually living under the custody of the divorced mother and receive little financial support from the father.
Please advise who will inherit the HDB according to ISA?
Regards,
John
