I would like to ask all Guru a question. I bought a HDB resale with my divorced Mother under the Public Family scheme. All along I am the person who pay the down payment and the monthly instalment using my CPF. My Mother did not pay anything. If my Mother pass away, but I’m not yet 35 (currently 32), will I be able to retain my HDB flat alone? My Father has been uncontactable for 18 years.

Hi,

My best guess would be this flat is hold under Joint tenancy, since this is the most common mode of property ownership in local under family structure.

If my guess is correct, you shall automatically be the sole owner of the flat. You meet the conditions of holding the flat even though you are single and under 35 yrs old.

You have to approach HDB to lodge notice of death by producing all relevant documents such as death certificate.

Best regards
