Afternoon Ronnie,

Under normal situation, where no WILL have being drafted, the spouse will automatically be the legal owner of the unit, provided they fulfill the eligibility scheme set up by HDB. Since there's a WILL, what the surviving spouse can do is to apply through court to contest the case. Being able to provide all necessary documents to support the claim that the spouse have fulfilled their rightful duties will be a lengthy process. If the contest fails and the administrator wins the claim, they do have all legal right to chase the existing occupier/s out of the unit.

FYI.
