Asked by
If a HDB is co-owned by husband and wife. And if the husband passes on, does the HDB goes 100% to the wife and not to the children? If certain % of the house is inherited by the children who already owned their own private property, do they have to sell their private properties or stake in the HDB?

Hi,

1) There are different situations on joint-tenancy and Tenancy-In-Common.

2) Under Joint-Tenancy, the survivor takes all. It means that if the husband passes on, the wife will be 100% solely own the flat by herself.

3) Under Tenancy-In-Common, and there is no will. It means the intestate succession act will apply.
(a) Wife will receive 50% of the shares husband has.
(b) All children will inherit the other 50%.

4) Under (3) scenario, in the event the children already owned private property. And the mother has no financial capacity to take over their shares. The children should appeal to the HDB to allow them to keep the share of the HDB flat.
