Asked by
I have bought a DBSS unit together with my parents names (joint-tenant) and the S&P has signed. Unfortuantely one of my parent has passed away. I would like to ask what action is required? meaning to inform the lawyer and developer and banker? What are the steps that I should be aware of and to act.

Appreciate if someone can advise.

Thanks
May

Hi May,

So sorry for your loss of your loved one, my deepest condolences.

I am assuming you are single and that originally you are purchasing the DBSS with your parents so that you can assist to pay for the loan with your CPF. You have purchased under the family scheme.

After the loss of your loved one, you and your remaining loved one still form a eligible family nucleus and is allowed to continue on with the purchase.

As for steps moving forward, stay strong first! Your family needs you to be strong! Call HDB or the developer and inform them of the unfortunate event. They will advise you on the steps required then. Their contact numbers should be in the document stack given to you during the purchase exercise. Alternatively, call your servicing agent that sold you the unit and he/she should also be well equiped to assist you.

Cheers and stay strong!

Regards
