Asked by Izzy Iz
I am writing to seek clarification and advice regarding my HDB flat and future housing arrangements for my mother. I am a Muslim man.
I am currently the sole owner of my HDB flat, and my mother, who is 74 years old, is listed as an occupier. She is not a co-owner of the flat.
I would like to understand the options available to ensure that my mother will not be rendered homeless in the unfortunate event of my demise. Specifically, I would appreciate HDB’s guidance on:
Whether my mother, as an existing occupier, would be allowed to continue staying in the flat after my demise.
What legal or administrative arrangements (e.g. nomination, transfer of flat, inclusion as essential occupier, or other HDB schemes) can be made in advance to safeguard her housing.
Whether a will, CPF nomination, or any HDB-specific application is required to facilitate this arrangement.
Any eligibility conditions or limitations that I should be aware of given her age and occupier status.
My intention is to plan responsibly and ensure housing continuity for my elderly mother, should anything happen to me.
I would be grateful for your advice on the appropriate steps I should take.
Thank you for your time and assistance.
