Asked by
Hello, currently my parents and my sibling stay in a EC however the condo name is under my elder brother name not my parents and the house is suppose to belong to my parents. Due to my elder brother don’t want to sell away the EC. My parents wanted to have a home under their name. They wanted to buy HDB BTO but due to their old age they can’t get loan so it include my younger brother name to get loan. However my elder brother wanted to pay the loan instead. The HDB not under my elder brother name. Is this possible ? so if he pay the loan does that mean in the future the HDB will be his if let say my parents not around anymore? Can advise on this complicated situation? What’s the best solution to be fair and equal for my parents and siblings.

Hi

If your elder brother do not want to sell the EC, he would not be allowed to be named as an owner or even occupier for the HDB your parents bought. In addition, he is also not allowed to take up another loan for the purpose of your parents wanting to purchase a HDB as he is not the owner of the HDB. Therefore I do not think this will be a feasible option in the first place. In order to advise further, I will need more information with regards to your family profile and situation. DO contact me at 93375051  for a free and non obligatory consultation on this.

Am unsure of how the relationship among the family is, and also how much loan will your younger brother and parents combined will be eligible for. If they have the necessary finance for the upfront payment as well as able to secure sufficient loan for the property, your elder brother need not come in to support the financing of the HDB. Since your elder brother is not a co-owner and cannot be a co-owner of the HDB, his name cannot be included as a borrower, but can only help pay the monthly instalments by cash if the family requires his monetary support. In this case, in future, if family relationship turn sour, he may stake his claims to the property in court if property is sold, although legally speaking he is not an owner, and the legal process can be weary. I believe it is best to communicate among the family and plan for the structuring of assets properly to avoid any misunderstandings in future.

Hi,

1) Let me straighten out the whole scenario:
(a) Your parents do not own any property at the moment.
(b) Your elder brother offer to pay the monthly mortgage, this could be partial or full.

2) It is perfectly alright for your parents to apply for a BTO with your younger brother. There are no issues with eligibility as long as they did not utilize the 2 chances of buying a subsidized HDB flat.
3) Subsidized HDB flats are referring to BTO/SBF, and resale HDB with grants.
4) Your brother can chip in for the monthly mortgage in cash.
5) He will not be able to utilize his CPF for the monthly mortgage. He also cannot add his name to the BTO application to increase the loan amount since he owned an EC.
6) Anyway, if the current EC is still under mortgage, his loan amount will be limited to 45% LTV. So it will not be very helpful to include his name.
7) If the ownership of the BTO is under the Joint-Tenancy, then the rule of survivor takes all applied.
8) Logically speaking without mishap, your younger brother will have the full sole ownership once your parents passed on.
9) If the ownership is under Tenancy-In-Common, then your elder brother can then challenge the shares owned by your parents when they passed on since he is the one that chips in the monthly mortgage.
10) This is something relating to the Intestate Succession Act in Singapore. This will be quite complicated if this happened.

Please give me a thumbs-up if the answer provided is relevant to your main concern. Thanks!!!
