You should consult a lawyer on this matter.

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.

Here are some things you can consider if your brother T inherited a fully paid-off HDB flat from your parents and you currently reside in the same flat:

Discuss Ownership Rights: Firstly, have a clear conversation with your brother T about the ownership rights of the flat. Does he intend to share ownership with you, or does he plan to own it solely?
Options Depending on Ownership:

Shared Ownership: If you agree to share ownership, you'll need to formalize the arrangement** through a lawyer specializing in property law. This might involve purchasing a share** of the flat from your brother.

Sole Ownership (Brother T): If your brother retains sole ownership, you'll need to discuss your living situation:

Rent: You could pay rent** to your brother to contribute to the household expenses.
Informal Agreement: You might have an informal agreement** to continue living there for free or at a reduced cost.
Move Out: If no agreement is reached, you might need to consider finding alternative accommodation**.
Additional Considerations:

Occupancy Rights: Even if you're not a co-owner, you might have occupancy rights** if you've been living there for a significant period. Consult a lawyer** to understand your specific rights.

Future Plans: Discuss your long-term plans** with your brother. Do you intend to stay in the flat for a long time, or are you considering buying your own place eventually? Open communication is key.

Recommendation:

Open Communication: The most important step is to have an open and honest conversation** with your brother to understand his intentions and explore options that work for both of you.

Legal Advice: Consider seeking legal advice** from a property lawyer specializing in HDB inheritance to understand your rights and obligations better.
